单词 | se- |
释义 | se-prefix occurring only in Latin derivatives, represents the Latin sē-, identical with the Old Latin sē (also sēd) preposition and adverb, without, apart. With prepositional force the Latin sē- occurs in one or two adjectives, as sēcūrus secure (from *sē cūrā without care); with adverbial force (= apart) it is chiefly found in verbs, of which the following (as also their derivatives) have come into English in adapted forms: sēcēdĕre, sēcernĕre, sēclūdĕre, sēdūcĕre, sēgregāre, sēparāre. The form sēd- occurs in sēditio sedition (lit. ‘going apart’). The Latin sē, sēd is believed to be related to the pronoun sē, oneself. It is disputed whether the d of sēd is an ablative sign or represents a particle -de.
