formidable词源

formidable

formidable: [15] Latin formīdō meant ‘fear’ (it may have links with Greek mormó ‘bugbear, goblin’, which came from an Indo-European *mormo). From it was derived the verb formīdāre, which in turn produced the adjective formīdābilis, which English originally acquired in the literal sense ‘inspiring fear’. The weaker ‘impressive in size, difficulty, etc’ is a 17thcentury development.

formidable (adj.)

mid-15c., \"causing fear,\" from Middle French formidable (15c.), from Latin formidabilis \"causing fear, terrible,\" from formidare \"to fear,\" from formido \"fearfulness, fear, terror, dread.\" Sense has softened somewhat over time, in the direction of \"so great (in strength, size, etc.) as to discourage effort.\" Related: Formidably.
