Eclipse
Eclipse 的前缀、后缀或词根是什么？
国际音标
🇺🇸 /ɪˈklɪps/
🇬🇧 /ɪˈklɪps/
日食；月食；黯然失色
词根法分析
e-（离开）+ clipse（离开）→ 离开（光线），即日月被遮蔽
- e-向外，离开（前缀，源自拉丁语ex-）
- clipse离开，消失（词根，源自希腊语ekleipsis，意为“离开”）
例子
- ecliptic黄道（e- + cliptic < cline-倾斜，指太阳在天空中运行的路径）
- ellipse椭圆（el- < ex- 离开 + lisse < leipein 离开，原指跟不上圆周，即曲线）
练习
尝试用相同的方法分解和记忆以下单词- eject喷射；驱逐（e-向外 + ject 投掷）
- emerge出现（e-向外 + merge 浸没，原指从水中浮出）
造句
- A total eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun.
- His achievements were eclipsed by his younger brother's success.
- The eclipse lasted for several minutes, causing darkness during the day.
