英文词源
- intelligence (n.)
- late 14c., "faculty of understanding," from Old French intelligence (12c.), from Latin intelligentia, intellegentia "understanding, power of discerning; art, skill, taste," from intelligentem (nominative intelligens) "discerning," present participle of intelligere "to understand, comprehend," from inter- "between" (see inter-) + legere "choose, pick out, read" (see lecture (n.)).
Meaning superior understanding, sagacity" is from early 15c. Sense of "information, news" first recorded mid-15c., especially "secret information from spies" (1580s). Intelligence quotient first recorded 1921 (see I.Q.).
中文解释
1. inter- "between" + lig- "choose, pick out" + -ence => intelligence ( inter- 尾部的字母r被同化为l, 这与com-，ab-，sub-等前缀的同化的原理和原因是相同的。).2. => choose between, pick out between. => 从...中将其识别、区分出来。=> 引申为：understand,comprehend.
