助记提示


1. gloss English has two words gloss. The one meaning 'shining surface' is of unknown origin, although no doubt it belongs ultimately to the general nexus of words beginning gl- which mean broadly 'bright, shining'.
2. gloss 'explanation, definition' goes back to Greek glossa 'tongue' => 'mouthpiece, obscure word, language'. This developed the secondary sense 'language' (as English tongue itself has done), and was borrowed by Latin as glossa meaning 'obsolete or obscure or foreign word needing an explanation', and eventually the 'explanation' itself.
3. 谐音“光裸色”------由光形成的裸色,很有光泽感。
4. glossary => gloss.
5. gl- "光"----与“光”有关的词根、单词。
6. words beginning gl- which mean broadly 'bright, shining'.
7. glow => gloss.
8. 谐音“割了舌”-----gloss-, glott- "舌头"。
9. 谐音“葛老师、哥乐释”-----葛老师经常给我们解释、作注解,哥哥很乐意给我解释、作注解。
10. 谐音“光loss”----光、光泽减损、耗损了。
