助記提示
1、di- "apart" + vers-.
2、含義：turn to different ways, turn to many or various by separate or apart.
3、該詞在拉丁語(yǔ)中其實(shí)就是divert的過(guò)去分詞，也就是說(shuō)它來(lái)源于divert的拉丁語(yǔ)對(duì)應(yīng)詞的過(guò)去分詞。由此取形容詞詞性并引申出如今的含義。
英文詞源
- divers (adj.)
- mid-13c., "not alike" (sense now in diverse); late 13c., "separate, distinct; various," from Old French divers (11c.) "different, various, singular, odd, exceptional, wretched, treacherous, perverse," from Latin diversus "turned different ways," in Late Latin "various," past participle of divertere (see divert).
Sense of "several, numerous" is recorded from c. 1300, referring "originally and in form to the variety of objects; but, as variety implies number, becoming an indefinite numeral word expressing multiplicity" [OED], a sense that emerged by c. 1400.
