英文詞源
- tinge
- tinge: [15] Etymologically, tinge denotes ‘soak, moisten’. That is what its Latin source, tingere, originally meant. The notion of ‘colour’ comes from a secondary Latin sense, ‘dye’, which arose from the concept of ‘dipping in liquid dye’. The Latin past participle, tinctus, lies behind English taint [14], tincture [14], and tint [18].
=> taint, tincture, tint - tinge (v.)
- late 15c., "to dye, color slightly," from Latin tingere "to dye, color" (see tincture). Related: Tinged. The noun is first recorded 1752.
