profligate词源

profligate

profligate: [16] Something that is profligate has etymologically been ‘beaten down’ to a state of ruination or degradation. The word was adapted from Latin prōflīgātus ‘destroyed, dissolute’, an adjective based on the past participle of prōflīgāre ‘beat down, destroy’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix prō- ‘forward’ (used here in the sense ‘down’) and flīgere ‘hit’ (source also of English afflict, conflict [15], and inflict [16]).=> afflict, conflict, inflict

profligate (adj.)

1520s, \"overthrown, routed\" (now obsolete in this sense), from Latin profligatus \"destroyed, ruined, corrupt, abandoned, dissolute,\" past participle of profligare \"to cast down, defeat, ruin,\" from pro- \"down, forth\" (see pro-) + fligere \"to strike\" (see afflict). Main modern meaning \"recklessly extravagant\" is 1779, via notion of \"ruined by vice\" (1640s, implied in a use of profligation). Related: Profligately. As a noun from 1709.
