- sumptuous
- sumptuous: [15] Etymologically, sumptuous denotes ‘expensive, costly’; its modern connotations of ‘luxury’ or ‘lavishness’ are a secondary development. It comes via Old French somptueux from Latin sumptuōsus, a derivative of sumptus ‘expense’. This in turn was based on the past participle of the verb sūmere ‘spend, consume, take’ (source also of English assume [15], consume [14], presume [14], resume [15], and subsume [16]). And sūmere in turn was a compound verb, formed from the prefix sub- ‘under’ and emere ‘take’ (source of English example, redeem, etc).
=> assume, consume, example, presume, redeem, resume, sample, subsume

; amnesty 赦免，大赦
amnesty所表示的概念“赦免"或“大赦”以及词本身均源自古希腊人。历史上第-个实行大赦的人据说是-位古希腊将军。他说他愿意宽恕他的敌人，从此不念旧恶，忘却过去。“忘却”在希腊语说amnestos(a-‘not，+mnasthai‘remember')，拉丁语则作amnestia。英语amnesty-词和医学术语amnesia(记忆缺失，遗忘)即源于此。
