【造词理据】di-前缀，表分离，-ce是后缀，词根vor源自原始印欧语词根*wer-（旋转=turn），W=V形表转折、旋转、弯曲，这里指分开，尤指离婚。 【例句】The court said the wedding photos were owned by both Zhang and his wife, and she had the right to damage the photos after their divorce. 法院认为婚照由夫妻共同拥有，妻子在离婚后有权利损毁这些照片。 【同根词】adverse; anniversary; avert; awry; controversy; converge; converse (adj.) "exact opposite;" convert; diverge; divert;evert; extroversion; extrovert; gaiter; introrse; introvert; invert; inward; malversation; obverse; peevish; pervert; prose; raphe;reverberate; revert; rhabdomancy; rhapsody; rhombus; ribald; sinistrorse; stalwart; subvert; tergiversate; transverse; universe;verbena; verge (v.1) "tend, incline;" vermeil; vermicelli; vermicular; vermiform; vermin; versatile; verse (n.) "poetry;" version; verst;versus; vertebra; vertex; vertigo; vervain; vortex; -ward; warp; weird; worm; worry; worth (adj.) "significant, valuable, of value;" worth (v.) "to come to be;" wrangle; wrap; wrath; wreath; wrench; wrest; wrestle; wriggle; wring; wrinkle; wrist; writhe; wrong; wroth; wry. 【造词理据】-ize是后缀。jeopard词源不详。魔法师猜测可能是借词。 【例句】It's a problem big enough to jeopardize the recovery that the economy seems to be building. 在重建经济的当口，这个问题大到足以对复苏造成危害了。 【同根词】无。 【造词理据】para-表周围的（=around），dise源自原始印欧语词根*dheigh-（制作=form、build）。paradise原指围墙，D表门，借“门”指墙，这里指有围墙的地方，即花园，后比喻指天堂、伊甸园。 【例句】They're talking of the small island as if they were going to spend their holiday in a paradise on earth. 他们谈论起那小岛，仿佛就要去人间天堂度假一般。 【同根词】configure; dairy; dey (n.1) "female servant, housekeeper, maid;" disfigure; dough; effigy; faineant; faint; feign; feint;fictile; fiction; fictitious; figment; figure; figurine; lady; paradise; prefigure; thixotropy; transfigure. 【讨论】同根词中有F开头的单词，魔法师认为应为F表义，如fiction。这些单词可能不是真正的同根词，只是拼写上巧合，当然这需要更多的证据。不过词源中确实存在这种情况。 【造词理据】con-前缀，表“与（=with）”或彻底地（=thoroughly），-ious是后缀，-ent是后缀，词根sci源自原始印欧语词根*skei-（分开=divide、cut），S表牙齿，引申指切分，这里从整体中分出来的，借指“知道的（=know）”，conscientious即指彻底了解、一丝不苟的。 【例句】This child what is all conscientious from childhood with no result , the sense ofresponsibility is strong, welcoming accepting a buddy. 这孩子从小干什么都认真，责任感强，受到伙伴的欢迎。 【同根词】science、conscience、conscionable。 【造词理据】-oma是名词后缀，多种动作行为的结果。词根diplo-（二=two），D表门，引申指隔断、分开，借指“一分为二地”，这里特指善于交际的人、善于处理两国事物的外交官等。 【例句】A diplomat is a man who can convince his wife that she looks stout in a minkcoat. 外交官，就是能让老婆相信那件貂皮大衣会令她显得臃肿的那种人。 【同根词】anadiplosis; balance; barouche; between; betwixt; bezel; bi-; binary; bis-; biscuit; combination; combine; deuce;deuterium; Deuteronomy; di- (1) "two, double, twice;" dia-; dichotomy; digraph; dimity; diode; diphthong; diploid; diploma;diplomacy; diplomat; diplomatic; diplodocus; double; doublet; doubloon; doubt; dozen; dual; dubious; duet; duo; duodecimal;duplex; duplicate; duplicity; dyad; epididymis; hendiadys; pinochle; praseodymium; redoubtable; twain; twelfth; twelve; twenty;twi-; twice; twig; twilight; twill; twin; twine; twist; twixt; two; twofold; zwieback. 【讨论】two中T应为D的清浊辅音字母通转。bi-中B与D的通转，也应是受到发音的影响，限于篇幅不作过多讨论。 ------------------------------------ 单词成就英语，英语照见未来
