prodigal

(adj.)

约在1500年,用于描述人“挥霍无度、浪费的”,源于 prodigality 的反构词,或者来自法语 prodigal,直接源于晚期拉丁语 prodigalis,源于拉丁语 prodigus “浪费的”,源于 prodigere “驱散、浪费”,源于 pro “向前”(源于 PIE 词根 *per- (1)“向前”)+ agere “发动、驱动; 干、执行”(源于 PIE 词根 *ag- “驱动、拉出或向前、移动”)。

最常见于路加福音第15章11-32节中所讲的 prodigal son(拉丁维加塔版本为 filius prodigus)。在1590年代,其意思转变为“非常慷慨、慷慨地慷慨”。作为名词,“挥霍无度、不必要地浪费金钱的人”,在1590年代出现,源自该形容词(拉丁形容词也被用作名词)。相关词语: Prodigially

同样来自于:c. 1500
