oxy-

基本解釋

The first half of the word oxy- means “sharp.”
單詞的前半部分oxy- 意思是“有刺激性的，敏銳的”。
Or, if you translate that into fancy scientific Latin and Greek, oxy-gen; since gen means “make” or “generate.”
由於酸中有刺激性的，敏銳的東西，産生酸的原料就被成爲(wèi)“産酸物”，或者，如果你將其轉(zhuǎn)化成精致科學(xué)的拉丁語(yǔ)或希臘語(yǔ)，那就是 oxy-gen ；因爲(wèi)gen的含義是“制造”或“産生”。
