"humorsome"是一个源自中古英语的形容词,由"humor"(幽默)加后缀"-some"(具有某种倾向性)构成,主要含义为"幽默风趣的;爱开玩笑的"。该词在早期现代英语文学作品中较为常见,现多用于诗歌或正式文体中。
根据《牛津英语词典》(Oxford English Dictionary)记载,该词最早可追溯至16世纪,最初描述人具有诙谐特质或情绪善变的特征。英国作家托马斯·纳什(Thomas Nashe)在1594年的作品《不幸的旅人》中曾使用该词描述人物性格:"a humorsome companion, full of quirks and merry conceits"(一个幽默的伙伴,充满俏皮话和欢快想法)。
在语义演变方面,《柯林斯英语词典》(Collins English Dictionary)指出其现代用法更侧重表达"机智且令人愉悦的幽默感",例如:"The professor's humorsome anecdotes made the lecture particularly engaging"(教授幽默的轶事使讲座特别引人入胜)。需注意该词与近义词"humorous"的细微差异:前者强调幽默作为性格特质,后者侧重描述具体事物的滑稽属性。
单词humorsome(或拼写为humoursome,常见于英式英语)是一个形容词,其含义和用法如下:
情绪多变的,性情反复无常的
描述人容易因外界影响而情绪波动,可能表现为易怒或难以预测的性格特征。例如:
She was known for her humorsome nature, switching from joy to anger in moments.
古怪的,想入非非的
带有幽默或离奇的特质,可能指行为或想法不同寻常。例如:
His humorsome antics amused the crowd, though some found them odd.
