grandiosity(n.)

这个词源于1814年,来自法语 grandiosité;可以参考 grandiose-ity 的组合。

The author now and then makes a word for his own use, as complicate, for complicated; and, still less fortunately 'grandiosity' (p. 343). [review of Joseph Forsyth's "Remarks on Italy" in Edinburgh Review, January 1814]
作者偶尔会创造一些词汇供自己使用,比如 complicate,意指复杂的;还有一个不太成功的例子是 'grandiosity'(第343页)。[摘自《爱丁堡评论》,1814年1月,关于约瑟夫·福赛斯《意大利札记》的评论]

1828年(早期作为法语词借入英语),来自法语grandiose "印象深刻,宏伟的效果"(18世纪),源自意大利语grandioso(也直接作为音乐术语借入英语),来自拉丁语grandis "大"(参见grand (adj.))。相关词:Grandiosely

This word is so much needed that its being a malformation is the more to be deplored. We took it from the French, before whom, however, the Italians had educed grandioso from grandis, against all law. Yet we ourselves, long ago, did just as ill, in shaping illustrious out of illustris or illustre. [Fitzedward Hall, "Modern English," 1873]
这个词非常需要,因此它的畸形更令人遗憾。我们从法语中借用它,但在他们之前,意大利人已经违反所有规则地从grandis中引出了grandioso。然而,我们自己很久以前也同样不当,从illustrisillustre中构造了illustrious。[Fitzedward Hall, "Modern English," 1873]

这个词缀用于从形容词构成抽象名词,表示“______的状态或性质”。它源自中古英语的 -ite,来自古法语的 -ete(现代法语为 -ité),直接源自拉丁语的 -itatem(主格为 -itas)。这个后缀表示状态或条件,由 -i-(来自词干或作为连接元素)和常见的抽象后缀 -tas(参见 -ty (2))组成。

Roughly, the word in -ity usually means the quality of being what the adjective describes, or concretely an instance of the quality, or collectively all the instances; & the word in -ism means the disposition, or collectively all those who feel it. [Fowler]
大致来说,带有 -ity 的词通常表示形容词所描述的性质,或者具体指这种性质的实例,或者集合地指所有这些实例;而带有 -ism 的词则表示一种倾向,或者集合地指所有感受这种倾向的人。[Fowler]
