助記提示
1、Latin surdus "deaf, unheard, silent, mute". => surd-: deaf, unheard, silent, mute.
2、surd- => surd: irrational.
3、咱們漢語里有表達這種關(guān)聯(lián)的形象的成語：掩耳盜鈴、裝聾作啞、充耳不聞；這些行為是不是都非常的荒唐、荒謬、無理取鬧??！因此，由詞根含義轉(zhuǎn)變到、引申到單詞含義自然就水到渠成了。
4、ab- "away, off; 由于該前綴的這層含義，在這里添加在surd之前更加強了surd的含義，為什么呢？想一想充耳不聞、裝聾作啞地走開(away, off)，就明白了！" + surd- / surd => absurd.
5、In surd, the mathematical sense is from the use of Latin surdus to translate Arabic (jadhr) asamm "deaf (root)," itself a loan-translation of Greek alogos, literally "speechless, without reason".
6、In French, sourd remains the principal word for "deaf".
