So Etymologically Attracted to English Vocabulary Part 2 ( Inadvertently)
By Vincent from www.englishvincent.com
刚才在拜读Roger Dawson的关于谈判技巧的大作”Ask for More Than You Expect to Get”,
看到这样一句话,What concerns
me is that when you’re involved in a negotiation, you are inadvertently creating
deadlocks, because you don’t have the courage to ask for more than you expect to get. 感觉inadvertently这个词非常面熟,但是一时又想不起具体的意思。这个词我应该碰过不下五次了,一直感觉不亲切也不好记。Inadvertently,in表示否定,相反的意思,不再话下,tently构成副词,亦不必深究,关键是要搞清楚adver的意思。看看了,觉得像advise和advertise,如何和前者组合起来,就是未被告知地,不知情地;如果和后者组织起来,advertise的语源我还记得,是to give attention,那么组合起来就是
没注意地,两个组合的意思看起来差不多啊。。。
于是我查看了inadvertently的语源,觉得最后出来的结果因为和我猜测的差不多。
上面是这样解释的:
inadvertently
1678, lit. "inattentively," hence "unintentionally;" ult. from inadvertence (1568), from Scholastic L. inadvertentia, from in- "not" + advertentia, from L. advertere "to direct one’s attention to," lit. "to turn toward" (see advertise).
原来是advertise,是in- "not" + advertentia-"to direct one’s attention to,"
advertise
c.1430, "to take notice of," from M.Fr. advertiss-, prp. stem of a(d)vertir "to warn," from L. advertere "turn toward," from ad- "toward" + vertere "to turn" see versus). Original sense remains in advert "to give attention to." Sense of advertise shifted to "give notice to others, warn" (1490) by influence of advertisement, which meant "public notice (of anything, but often of a sale)" by c.1460. The modern, commercial meaning was fully developed by 18c.
inadvertently
adv by accident; unintentionally
