disinterested的词源解释,disinterested来源

disinterested(adj.)

1610年代,"不关心"(现在的含义应该与 uninterested 相对应),源自 dis- "相反的" + interested。"公正"的含义最初出现在 disinteressed(大约1600年),源自法语单词 desinteresse,随后传递到 uninterested。现代的 disinterested 含义,即"公正,无私,无个人偏见,出于无私动机行事, ""的含义,可以追溯到1650年代。

到了18世纪末,这些词语已经有了明确的含义,就像现在一样, disinterested 意味着"公正", uninterested 意味着"对所讨论的问题毫不关心",而 disinteressed 已经被淘汰。相关词汇: Disinterestedlydisinterestedness
