    词源词缀法
    英语单词diamond(钻石)和adamant(坚硬无比的)其实是同源单词,都源自希腊语adamas,由a(not)daman(to conquer,totame)组合而成,字面意思就是“不可征服的、坚不可摧的”。希腊人用adamas来表示钻石这一类坚硬无比的物质,由此衍生出diamond和adamant这两个英语单词。其中diamond的演变路径比较复杂,为希腊语adamas→古拉丁语adamantem→通俗拉丁语adiamantem→中世纪拉丁语diamantem→古法语diamant→英语diamond。而单词adamant的演变路径相对简单,为希腊语adamas→古拉丁语adamantem→英语adamant。=diamond['da??m?nd]n.钻石,金刚石,菱形adj.菱形的,金刚石的=adamant['?d?m(?)nt]adj.坚硬无比的,固执的,坚定的n.坚硬的东西

    小知识

    A diamond is a valuable gemstone that's often used to make expensive jewelry. You might admire your friend's diamond earrings, but secretly wonder if they're real.

    An engagement ring is typically set with one or more diamonds. Diamonds used for jewelry are cut and polished, and they're evaluated for quality and price by weight, or carat, as well as by their cut, clarity, and color. Another kind of diamond is the geometrical shape, which is also seen on playing cards called diamonds, and echoed in the shape of a baseball field, also known as a diamond.
