词源词根法
英语单词coin(硬币)的本意并非“硬币”,而是铸造硬币的模具。它来自拉丁语cuneus(楔子),因为古罗马时期用来冲压硬币的模子的形状是楔形的,故此得名。英语单词coin就源自拉丁语cuneus,本意是铸造硬币的工具,由此衍生出“铸造、创造、杜撰”之意,最后才演变为表示硬币本身。=coin[k??n]n硬币,钱币vt.铸造,杜撰,创造词源同cone,cuneiform(楔形).来自PIE*ak,尖,刺,见acid,acumen最早指铸造货币的楔形模子,后指铸造的硬币及创造义。

小知识
If you coin a phrase, that means you come up with a new way to say something, like the person who coined “webizens” to describe people who constantly use the Internet.
The verb coin literally refers to making coins, the change you probably have in your pocket. The word can be used in a broader sense — creating something new, usually something related to language. For example, you could coin a phrase or a new word for “joke.” The language authorities would be proud — unlike federal authorities if you tried to coin money. That kind of coining is a criminal offense.
