vibrant

vibrant这个词的意思是“活跃的，精力充沛的，热情洋溢的”或者“（色彩）鲜艳的，（光线）明亮的”，它的发音是/ˈvaɪ.br ə nt/。

vibrant这个词来自于拉丁语的vibrans，意思是“摇动，震动”的现在分词形式，它是拉丁语动词vibrare的变体。vibrare的意思是“摇动，震动”，它可能与原始印欧语根*wibh-有关，表示“挥动”或“摆动”。

这个词最早出现在16世纪，最初指一些由于振动而产生声音或运动的东西。后来它也指一些具有强烈色彩或光泽的东西。还有一些引申义指一些充满活力或激情的人或事物。

有一些方法可以帮助您记住这个词：

• 通过联想法：您可以把vibrant和其他有关的词汇联系起来，比如vibrate（震动），violin（小提琴），vitamin（维生素），vision（愿景）。您可以想象一个小提琴手用弓子摩擦琴弦产生了震动和美妙的声音，他身上散发着维生素般的活力和热情，他眼中闪烁着对未来的美好愿景。这样就可以把vibrant和它的意思联系起来。

• 通过构词法：您可以把vibrant分解成前缀vi-和后缀-brant。前缀vi-表示“生命”，后缀-brant来自于burn（燃烧），所以vibrant就是“生命在燃烧”的意思。这样就可以从词根上理解这个词的含义。【误】

Vibrant and vitamin do not have the same etymology.

The word vibrant comes from Latin vibrantem, which means “swaying” or “vibrating”, from vibrare, which means “to move to and fro”. It is related to a Proto-Indo-European root *weip-, which means “to turn, vacillate, tremble ecstatically”.

The word vitamin comes from Latin vita, which means “life”, from a Proto-Indo-European root *gwei-, which means “to live”. It also has the suffix -amine, which refers to compounds derived from ammonia. The word was coined by Polish biochemist Casimir Funk in 1912.
