英文词源
- fantastic (adj.)
- late 14c., "existing only in imagination," from Middle French fantastique (14c.), from Medieval Latin fantasticus, from Late Latin phantasticus "imaginary," from Greek phantastikos "able to imagine," from phantazein "make visible" (middle voice phantazesthai "picture to oneself"); see phantasm. Trivial sense of "wonderful, marvelous" recorded by 1938. Old French had a different adjective form, fantasieus "weird; insane; make-believe." Medieval Latin also used fantasticus as a noun, "a lunatic," and Shakespeare and his contemporaries had it in Italian form fantastico "one who acts ridiculously."
中文解释
1、fant- + -ast + -ic.2、其实也就是看得见摸不着的东西，也就是很虚幻、很梦幻的东西。3、其词根的原始含义为：visible, appear. => only image or picture, picture to oneself, imagine.4、由此，该词的含义就很明确了：幻想，空想，狂想，白日梦；错觉，幻觉；怪念头，想入非非。5、想象的、幻想的东西肯定是不现实的，但他肯定是完美的、理想的、很奇特的、很不可思议的。由此有了新的引申义。
