英文词源
- eminent
- eminent: [15] Someone who is eminent literally ‘stands out’. The word comes from the present participle of Latin ēminēre ‘stand out’, a compound verb formed from the prefix ex- ‘out’ and a verbal element -minēre ‘stand, project’ which occurs also in imminent and prominent and may be related ultimately to Latin mōns ‘mountain’, source of English mount and mountain.
=> imminent, mount, mountain, prominent - eminent (adj.)
- early 15c., from Old French éminent "prominent" (13c.) or directly from Latin eminentem (nominative eminens) "standing out, projecting, prominent, high," figuratively "distinguished, distinctive," present participle of eminere "stand out, project; be prominent, be conspicuous," from assimilated form of ex- "out" (see ex-) + minere, related to mons "hill" (see mount (n.)). Related: Eminently. Legal eminent domain recorded from 1738.
