epeiric的词源解释,epeiric来源

epeiric(adj.)

“大陆架被海洋覆盖”的说法最早出现于1915年,源自希腊语 ēpeiros “大陆、陆地、大洲”(与海洋和岛屿相对),源自 PIE 词根 *apero- “海岸”(也是 Old English ofer “岸、边缘、海岸”、Old Frisian over “岸”的来源)+ -ic

As the term "continental deposits" in this sense is now ingrained in Geology, we can no longer use Dana's "continental seas" without raising a question in the mind as to what is meant when their deposits are considered. For this reason we propose here to use epeiric seas (meaning seas that lie upon the continents) for the bodies of water that lie within the continents in the downwarps of the continental masses. [Louis V. Pirsson, "A Text-Book of Geology," 1915]
由于“大陆沉积物”这个概念已经深入地贯穿了地质学,我们不能再使用 Dana 的“大陆海”而不引起人们对其沉积物的含义产生疑问。因此,我们在此提议使用 epeiric seas(指位于大陆内部下沉的水体)来表示位于大陆内部的水体。[Louis V. Pirsson,“地质学教科书”,1915年]
