前綴 apo-
漢:來(lái)源于希臘語(yǔ),意為"away from,inensive"。 有趣的是,前綴apo既用于最現(xiàn)代的用語(yǔ)中,也用于最古老的用語(yǔ)中。此外,在元音字母和輔音字母h前,元音字母o脫落,變成ap。
英:before vowels ap-, word-forming element meaning "from, away from, separate, free from," from Greek apo "from, away from; after; in descent from," in compounds, "from, asunder, away, off; finishing, completing; ceasing from; back again," from PIE root *apo- "off, away" (cf. Sanskrit apa "away from," Avestan apa "away from," Latin ab "away from, from," Gothic af, Old English of "away from").
