amphitheater 圓形大劇院
前綴amphi-, 同ambi-, 兩，二。theater, 劇院。古希臘劇院都是半圓形的，因此兩個兩圓形就構成整圓。
英文詞源
- amphitheater (n.)
- late 14c., from Latin amphitheatrum, from Greek amphitheatron "double theater, amphitheater," neuter of amphitheatros "with spectators all around," from amphi- "on both sides" (see amphi-) + theatron "theater" (see theater). Classical theaters were semi-circles, thus two together made an amphi-theater.
