perplex

(v.)

1590年代,“使困惑,使迷惑,使不确定”,显然是从 perplexed 衍生而来的,这是 perplex(14世纪后期)的变体,意为“困惑的,迷惑的,困惑的”,源自拉丁语 perplexus “涉及,混淆,复杂”; 但拉丁语没有相应的动词 *perplectere。拉丁语的复合词将是 per “通过”(来自 PIE 根 *per-(1)“向前”,因此“通过”)+ plexus “纠缠”, plectere 的过去分词“编织,编织,折叠”(来自 PIE 根 *plek- “编织”)。

英语形容词的形式开始在15世纪末转变为 perplexed,可能是为了符合其他过去分词形容词的规范,而形容词 perplex 从17世纪开始就已经过时了。这个动词是该组中最晚被记录的。 “使复杂,涉及,纠缠,使难以理解”的意义来自1610年代。相关: Perplexing,这很好地描述了这个词的历史; perplexingly
