英文词源
- structure
- structure: [15] Structure comes via Old French structure from Latin structūra, a noun derived from the past participle of struere ‘build’. Other English words from the same source are construct, construe, destroy, destruction, instruct, and obstruct [17].
=> construct, construe, destroy, destruction, instruct, obstruct, strain - structure (n.)
- mid-15c., "action or process of building or construction;" 1610s, "that which is constructed, a building or edifice;" from Latin structura "a fitting together, adjustment; a building, mode of building;" figuratively, "arrangement, order," from structus, past participle of struere "to pile, place together, heap up; build, assemble, arrange, make by joining together," related to strues "heap," from PIE *stere- "to spread, extend, stretch out."
The widespread descendants of this ancient root are believed to include: Sanskrit strnoti "strews, throws down;" Avestan star- "to spread out, stretch out;" Greek stronymi "strew," stroma "bedding, mattress," sternon "breast, breastbone;" Latin sternere "to stretch, extend;" Old Church Slavonic stira, streti "spread," strama "district;" Russian stroji "order;" Gothic straujan, Old High German strouwen, Old English streowian "to sprinkle, strew;" Old English streon "strain," streaw "straw, that which is scattered;" Old High German stirna "forehead," strala "arrow, lightning bolt;" Old Irish fo-sernaim "spread out," srath "a wide river valley;" Welsh srat "plain." - structure (v.)
- "put together systematically," by 1855 (occasional use from late 16c.), from structure (n.). Related: Structured; structuring.
