后綴-some =causing ～,～tending to
漢： 形容詞后綴-some 來(lái)源于古英語(yǔ)，它與不定代詞some同源，但在構(gòu)詞中意思卻更為復(fù)雜。-some可以與名詞結(jié)合，表示causing ～（產(chǎn)生...的）；也可以與動(dòng)詞相結(jié)合，表示～tending to ～(易于...的）；不可以與形容詞相結(jié)合，表示
～to a considerable degree （相當(dāng)...的）。
英：word-forming element used in making adjectives, from Old English -sum (see some; and cf. Old Frisian -sum, German -sam, Old Norse -samr), related to sama "same."
As a suffix added to numerals meaning "a group of that number" (cf. twosome) it represents Old English sum "some," used after the genitive plural (cf. sixa sum "six-some"), the inflection disappearing in Middle English. Use of some with a number meaning "approximately" also was in Old English.
