haughtiness
['h?:tinis]
- n. 傲慢；不遜
詞態(tài)變化
副詞:?haughtily;形容詞:?haughty;
助記提示
1. Old French haut => haught, Spelling altered by influence of caught, naught, etc.
2. alt- => h- + aut- => haut => haught.
3. with initial h- by influence of Frankish hoh "high". 由于hoh與high好像是同源的，因此這里直接簡單地說成取單詞high的首字母，前面的h-是受單詞high的影響，應該是起一個同義加強的作用，就像我們漢語里面有很多詞、成語就是由兩個同義的詞疊加在一起，起一個同義加強的作用。還可能是出于特定的構詞習慣等原因。
4. haught + -y => haughty, on model of might/mighty, naught/naughty, etc.
5. => "high in one's own estimation".
6. haughty變y為i加-ness.
2. alt- => h- + aut- => haut => haught.
