英语词源系列复习素材知识点精析精练warlock/Wednesday
warlock
n.术士,魔术师;男巫
起源
古英语waerloga的原意是“不守誓言的人”“魔鬼”,由waer(发誓)和leogan(撒谎)组合而成。到中古时代末期,词形改为warlow,除了旧意“撒旦、魔鬼”,又有了“巫师”的新意。
直到十六世纪,才出现warlock的拼法,词义是“巫师”,特别指“男巫”。
例句
1.He's a warlock.
他是一个男巫。
2.Warlock and Hunter pets will now be automatically dismissed when they are untalented.

Wednesday
n.星期三
起源
Wednesday(星期三)在古英语中原作Wodnesdaeg,意思是Woden's day。Woden是日耳曼战神Tyr的父亲,相当于罗马神话里的信使之神Mercury,古人便用Mercury来命名星期三,用tyr来命名星期四。十四至十五世纪期间,拼写法变来变去,一直没有统一,如Wensday、Wenysday、Wonesday等等,最后才确定用Wednesday一词。
例句
1.The findings of the court will be published on Wednesday.
法院的判决将于星期三公布。
2.The lady returned from Boston last Wednesday.
这位女士是上个星期三从波士顿回来的。
