词根词缀法
后缀-ton其实是town的另外一种形式，比如Washington，那是叫Wash的后代（-ing后缀表people of some place or race）居住的town，然后这个-ton后缀也就指人或事物了。再如singleton['s??g(?)lt(?)n]n一个；独身，这个基本可以理解为“单身狗”了。

小知识
A simpleton is an idiot — a person without much common sense or intelligence.
This is one of many words — such as moron, dummy, and dimwit — that insult a person's intelligence. A simpleton is the opposite of a genius. However, the word simple implies more than lack of intelligence; it suggests being innocent or naive too. So a simpleton could be considered a hillbilly or yokel as well as a dullard or dunce.
