wo-（我）；b-（不）；le-（乐）记忆方法：我不乐意跟反肘的人在一起。
词根词缀法
来自ell和bow的组合词。ell乃英国旧时量布的长度单位，等于45英寸，但对织布工来说，从肘到中指尖的长度即为-ell。英语谚语Give hirn an inch and he'lI take an ell（得寸进尺）中的ell正是用于此义。现用以表示“肘”的elbow一词源自古英语elnboga，由eln‘length of lower arm’加boga‘bow’（弯曲部分）组成，而实际上系由ell和bow二词复合而成。

小知识
Your elbow is the bendy part of your arm between your wrist and your shoulder. Sometimes people use their pointy elbows to elbow people out of the way.
Your elbows are major joints in your arms, making it possible for you to do many things — including get scolded for having your elbows rudely on the table while you eat. Clothing can be said to have elbows as well: “I like your professor jacket with the patches on the elbows.” Other inanimate objects with elbows include rivers and pipes: a sharp bend in either of these is also called an elbow.
