词根词缀法
另解:
来自古英语thynne,薄的,来自Proto-Germanic*thunni,薄的,来自PIE*ten,延展,拉长,词源同extend,tender,tenuous.词义由拉长引申为细长,薄的,脆弱的等诸多相关词义。厨师拉面,拉得越长,面就越细;一团面粉,抻得越开,厚度越薄。借助这两点生活经验,来理解thin(薄的)的本义是“伸展”。经过th、t音变,得到常见形式ten-“词根伸展”,如tense(拉紧的),tend(趋向),extend(延长),tent(帐篷)等。

小知识
Something thin is narrow or not very thick. If you wear thin socks on a cold winter day, your toes might start to feel numb.
Thin can describe something that is narrow and slender, like a hair or a thread. It can also describe a layer of something that is not very thick, such as paper. To thin something out is to make it lesser or weaker, like thinning out a sauce by adding water. You can also use this word figuratively. An argument that is not very convincing is thin.
