词根:cre(cru), cresc, cret = to grow, to increase 生长

  来源于拉丁语的creare/crescere 具有to grow,to increase 等含义,元音弱化后变成cru。此外,意为to separate,to observe 的cret/creet/cre/cern 和此词根形态相似,需要加以注意。

  另一解释:①都来源于拉丁语 creare/crescere 制造 / 生长,它们属于一组同源异形根,前者是 -cret- 在添加后缀时的变形,后两者分别为 crescere 的不定式词干和动名词词干。另外,-cres- 也可以理解为:由词根 -creas- 脱落元音 a 而成,如:increase 增加、decrease 减少、increse 增加、decrescent 渐少的;②来源典故圣诞节 Christmas,是纪念救世主耶稣的日子;③词根 -cresc- 也可以理解为是根据辅音的交替规律由 -cret- 变来的,属于单 / 双辅音交替规律,如:accretion 添加物、crescent 新月;④来源基础词creature 创造物,为它的变体,含义为它的引申义,分解为:-creat- 创造 + -ure (n.) 名词后缀,表示集合,创造一切万物,即创造物 / 人 / 动物

词根词缀:capit-, capt-, cap-, cep-, ceps-, chapt-, chef, cip-

【来源及含义】Latin: head; leader, chief, or first

【相关描述】It may be surprising to see that a "captain" and a "chef" both belong to the same word family; however, a captain is, of course, the "head of a company of military soldiers", and a "chef is the captain of a group of cooks".

A chef, especially to those who love good food, is not a lowly official; and when it is remembered that the old saying that "an army travels on its stomach", a chef is every bit as important as a captain.

When the French borrowed words from Latin, they frequently used soft sounds. These French words, with their softer sounds, then made their way into the English language. At the same time, English borrowed words directly from Latin. So it is that in English we often have two words which share the same root, but which have different, though related, forms and meanings.

Don't confuse the words in this capit-, capt- unit with those in the cap-, cip-, "catch, seize" unit.
