单词 ubi
释义

ubin.

Brit. /ˈʊbi/, /ˈuːbi/, U.S. /ˈʊbi/, /ˈubi/
Forms: 1600s vbi, 1600s– ubi.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin ubi.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin ubi location, position (13th cent. in British sources), use as noun of classical Latin ubi (interrogative and relative) ‘where’ < the same Italic base as Umbrian pufe, Oscan puf < the same Indo-European base as Sanskrit kuha, Avestan kudā, and Old Church Slavonic kŭde.Compare also (with different vocalism) Hittite kuwapi ‘where’, with a labial suffix which may be related to -bi in Latin ubi. However, it is also possible to derive -bi in the Latin word from the dental suffix seen in Avestan and Old Church Slavonic.
Now rare.
1. Permanent or absolute location or position. Common in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Now chiefly with reference to medieval philosophy.
