助記提示
1. carbon / crem- => hearth.
hub 來源於德文 herd 爐
邊,爐膛,家庭,(興趣、活動、重要性等)中心.該字相當於英文的 hearth 爐邊,爐
膛,家庭.還可以參考法文 foyer 爐子,策源地,中心.這說明西方人習慣將爐子引申
為"家庭,中心".
原來,hub 是字根 -habit- 和 -hibit-的一種變形.於是 hub 這個原來一直沒
有著落的字找到了老家.
(同族字例) hob 爐旁的鐵架; inhabit 居住於; inhibit 居住; exhibit
展覽; harbor 港口; habitant 居民; cohabit 同居; habitat 棲息地,(植物)
產地,住所,聚集處.
hear + th => 聽事----聽故事-----在寒冷的冬天，我們一家人圍坐在爐邊烤火，聽爸爸講故事，想像一下這是多麽幸福、溫馨的場景啊。

英文詞源
- hearth
- hearth: [OE] Etymologically, hearth seems to mean ‘burning place’. It has been suggested that its West Germanic ancestor *kherthaz, which also produced German herd and Dutch haard, may be connected with Latin cremāre ‘burn’ (source of English cremate [19]) and Lithuanian kurti ‘heat’.
=> cremate - hearth (n.)
- Old English heorð "hearth, fireplace, part of a floor on which a fire is made," also in transferred use "house, home, fireside," from West Germanic *hertho "burning place" (cognates: Old Saxon and Old Frisian herth, Middle Dutch hert, Dutch haard, German Herd "floor, ground, fireplace"), from PIE *kerta-, from root *ker- (4) "heat, fire" (see carbon). Hearth-rug is from 1824. Hearth-stone is from early 14c.
