中英词源
curt 唐突无礼的
来自PIE*sker, 剪,切,词源同shear, short. 后主要形容人的唐突。
- curt (adj.)
- mid-14c., from Latin curtus "(cut) short, shortened, incomplete," from PIE root *(s)ker- (1) "to cut" (see short (adj.)). Sense of "rude" is first recorded 1831. The Latin word was adopted early into most Germanic languages (compare Icelandic korta, German kurz, etc.) and drove out the native words based on Proto-Germanic *skurt-, but English retains short.

记忆方法
1. curtus "short, cut short, cut off, shortened" => curt.
2. 同源词:curt, curtail.
3. short => curt, curtail.
4. 先比较发音相近的单词:skirt(裙子),“裙子”含义由“短”而来,因此两词可以串记;再如shirt(衬衫)、short(短的)。不过skirt的词根不是-kirt-,而是-skir-“切”,同根词如:scar(疤痕)、score(刻痕;得分)等。
