suffragette的词源解释,suffragette来源

suffragette(n.)

"妇女选举权事业的女性支持者",1906年,来自 suffrage,加上法语女性后缀 -ette,但不是当时流行的意义。

suffragette. A more regrettable formation than others such as leaderette & flannelette, in that it does not even mean a sort of suffrage as they mean a sort of leader & of flannel, & therefore tends to vitiate the popular conception of the termination's meaning. The word itself may now be expected to die, having lost its importance; may its influence on word-making die with it! [Fowler, 1926]
suffragette。比其他词汇如 leaderetteflannelette 更令人遗憾的形成方式,因为它甚至不像它们那样意味着某种选举权,就像它们意味着某种领袖和法兰绒一样,因此倾向于破坏后缀的含义。这个词现在可能会消失,失去了它的重要性; 愿它对词汇创造的影响也随之消失![福勒,1926年]
