英文詞源
- convenient
- convenient: [14] Convenient comes from Latin conveniēns, the present participle of convenire ‘come together, be suitable, agree’, a compound verb formed from the prefix com- ‘together’ and venire ‘come’ (a distant relative of English come). Convenient reflects the more figurative of convenire’s meanings, as ultimately does covenant, but its original literal sense ‘a(chǎn)ssemble’ is preserved in convene [15], convention [15], convent, and coven.
=> convent, convention, coven, covenant, venue - convenient (adj.)
- late 14c., from Latin convenientem (nominative conveniens), present participle of convenire (see convene).
