execration

英 [,eksɪ'kreɪʃən]
  • n. 诅咒,憎恶;被诅咒之人或物

助记提示


1. sacred: figurative sense of "one who must not be criticized".
2. ex- "away, off" + secr- + -ation.
3. => devote off or away, make not sacred, do the opposite of sacred, that can be criticized.
4. => curse, abhor.
5. 这里的前缀 ex- 主要表否定、对立的含义(away, remove from, deprive of, without),你神圣不可侵犯、神圣不可冒犯,而我偏要冒犯你、侵犯你。
