sew
英 [səʊ]
美 [so]
助記提示
so 如此，那麽——sew縫補
口訣：他縫衣服如此地快。
2. Latin sutus, past participle of suere "to sew" => sew, suture, seam.
3. sew => seam.
4. 區分：sew, sow: sew中間是字母E, 字母E的發音與漢字“衣”相同，所以sew的含義是縫衣服的“縫”。
5. 象形詞：s- (拚音“絲”----絲線) + e (諧音“衣”---衣服) + w (象形：縫衣服時從上往下穿一針，然後再從下往上穿一針，如此循環往複) => sew: 用絲線循環往複地縫衣服。同樣地，單詞seam也具有象形的感覺，中間的-ea-的發音也與漢字“衣”相同，尾部的字母M隻不過是字母W的倒置而已，方向相反地縫補。

英文詞源
- sew
- sew: [OE] Sew comes, with its relatives Swedish sy and Danish sye, from a prehistoric Germanic *siwjan. This was descended from an Indo- European base *siw-, *sju- that also produced Latin suere ‘sew’ (source of English suture [16]), Greek humén ‘membrane’ (source of English hymen [17]), and English seam. It is no relation to sow.
=> hymen, seam, suture - sew (v.)
- Old English siwian "to stitch, sew, mend, patch, knit together," earlier siowian, from Proto-Germanic *siwjanan (cognates: Old Norse syja, Swedish sy, Danish sye, Old Frisian sia, Old High German siuwan, Gothic siujan "to sew"), from PIE root *syu- "to bind, sew" (cognates: Sanskrit sivyati "sews," sutram "thread, string;" Greek hymen "thin skin, membrane," hymnos "song;" Latin suere "to sew, sew together;" Old Church Slavonic šijo "to sew," šivu "seam;" Lettish siuviu, siuti "to sew," siuvikis "tailor;" Russian švec "tailor"). Related: Sewed; sewing. To sew (something) up "bring it to a conclusion" is a figurative use attested by 1904.
