词根词缀法
英语单词cab是法语单词cabriolet的缩写。cabriolet是十八世纪时法国流行的一种轻便二轮马车,常用作出租用途。法语单词cabriolet是cabrioler(跳跃、雀跃)的指小形式。这种车之所以被称为cabriolet,是因为当时路面不平,而这种车的车身又轻,所以前进时经常上下颠簸,像是在跳跃一样,所以称为cabriolet,有点像北京人管三轮车称为“三蹦子”一样。汽车被发明后,伦敦街头的出租汽车的外形很像以前的轻便二轮马车,所以在口语中也被英国人称为cab。单词taxi则是“出租车”的正式称谓。?

小知识
A cab is a taxi, a car whose driver you pay to take you where you need to go. It can feel like a competitive sport to hail a cab in New York City.
Your cab driver may talk incessantly while she drives you to the airport, or you might ride in a cab that's silent except for the sound of its horn honking at other drivers. You can also call the front part of a truck, where the driver sits, the cab. In the 1820s, the word meant “horse-drawn carriage,” short for the French cabriolet, “leap or caper.” The Latin root is capreolus, “wild goat.”
