A new word has been invented in England which seems to meet a "felt want." As the feminine of suffragist, suffragettes has come into use. Why not? [The Press, Stafford Springs, Conn., Jan. 31, 1906]
在英国发明了一个新词,似乎满足了“感受到的需求。”作为 suffragist 的女性形式,suffragettes 开始使用。为什么不呢? [The Press, Stafford Springs, Conn., Jan. 31, 1906]
suffragette. A more regrettable formation than others such as leaderette & flannelette, in that it does not even mean a sort of suffrage as they mean a sort of leader & of flannel, & therefore tends to vitiate the popular conception of the termination's meaning. The word itself may now be expected to die, having lost its importance; may its influence on word-making die with it! [Fowler, 1926]
suffragette。比其他如 leaderette & flannelette 更令人遗憾的构词,因为它甚至不意味着一种选举权,正如它们意味着一种领导者和法兰绒的类型,因此倾向于破坏公众对词尾意义的普遍理解。这个词本身现在可能会消亡,因为它失去了重要性;愿它对词汇创造的影响随它一起消亡! [Fowler, 1926]
