execrable
英 ['eksɪkrəb(ə)l]
美 ['ɛksɪkrəbl]
助記提示
1. sacred: figurative sense of "one who must not be criticized".
2. ex- "away, off" + secr- + -able.
3. => devote off or away, make not sacred, do the opposite of sacred, that can be criticized.
4. => curse, abhor.
5. 這裏的前綴 ex- 主要表否定、對立的含義(away, remove from, deprive of, without)，你神聖不可侵犯、神聖不可冒犯，而我偏要冒犯你、侵犯你。
