词根:claim, clam = to cry, to shout
这二个词根claim和clam在本站中已经有了,为了让大家更好的理解这二个重要的词根,特别更新了了一下这二个词根,从他们的来源进行了简单分析。这二个词根都来源于拉丁语 clamare 喊,可以追溯到原始印欧语根 *kele-,和call是同源。把call里面的字母a和l换一下位置再加上字母m就得到了clam 这个词根了,字母m的增加在词源学上是m鼻音化的结果。而不是我们为了理解claim这个词根演随便加上的。claim本身也是一个单词,表示“要求,声称,主张”其表达的意思就是“为了自己的利益而大声疾呼”。在clain前加上表示“出”的前缀ex-,就构成了exclaim,表示“由于生气、惊讶、痛苦等而惊叫、叫喊”,所以感叹号“!”的英文表达为exclamation mark。
单词clear 也来源于此,它的原始含义是“清晰、容易辨别声音”。由clear演变出了词根clar,表示“清楚,明白”,例如declare(宣布),宣布就是把事情说明白、说清楚。
词根claim是拉丁语 clamare的不定式词干的重读形式在英语中常构成动词;词根clam拉丁语 clamare的动名词词干,在英语中只出现在名词和形容词中。
