| 释义 | 〔cute〕Cute is a good example of how a shortened form of a word can take on a life of its own, developing a sense that dissociates it from the longer word from which it was derived.Cute was originally a shortened form of acute in the sense "keenly perceptive or discerning, shrewd.” In this sensecute is first recorded in a dictionary published in 1731. Probablycute came to be used as a term of approbation for things demonstrating acuteness, and so it went on to develop its own sense of "attractive, fetching,”first recorded with reference to "gals" in 1838.Cute 一词是词的缩略形式如何能获得自身意义的一个很好例子， 它发展了一种使其从可以推源的长词中脱离出来的意思。Cute 原先是 acute 一词的缩略形式，意为“洞察力或识别力极其敏锐的”。 在这个意义上，cute 最早被记录于1731年出版的一本词典中。 Cute 可能逐渐被用作描述显示敏锐性事物的褒义词， 由此它继续发展了自身的意思“漂亮的、迷人的”，该意思于1838年被首次记载在有关“加仑”的记录中 |
