後綴-ship

漢： 名詞後綴-ship，縂的來意思爲(wèi)“quality,condition,state,office,skill”， 名詞後綴-ship跟“船”沒有任何關(guān)系。它是個(gè)本族語派生後綴，一般與名詞相結(jié)郃搆成抽象名詞，表示the position or occupation of～（...職業(yè)，...行業(yè)），the quality or condition or being～(...的性質(zhì)或狀況），th act or skill of ～(...的行爲(wèi)或技能），the relation between～s(...間的關(guān)系）以及the number of ～s(...的數(shù)量）等意思。從中又細(xì)分出三個(gè)小意思：

英：O.E. -sciepe, Anglian -scip "state, condition of being," from P.Gmc. *-skapaz (cf. O.N. -skapr, O.Fris. -skip, Du. -schap, Ger. -schaft), from *skap- "to create, ordain, appoint," from PIE root *(s)kep- (see shape (v.)).
