contrary-convenient:一刀多用的便利
【造词理据】con-是前缀,表一起;-a、-y是后缀,tr也是词缀,多用于表示程度相同的比较。也就说这个单词里没有词根,非要说有词根的话,只能归到tr上。词根的定义是单词中主宰单词含义的部分。类似单词,英语里有不少,都算是词缀造词吧,表达的意义也非常抽象。
【例句】
To put it mildly, like the other two conflicts, getting in may be a lot easier thangetting out, despite all rhetoric to the contrary.
说得委婉些,像其他两场冲突,陷入要比脱离更容易,尽管许多动听之言来自反面。
【同根词】无。相关词:com- contra- con contraband contraception contradict contradiction contraposition contrapuntal contrary contras contrast contravene contretemps control controversy encounter
【造词理据】con-前缀,表一起;tri-是前缀,表“三”,-ion是名词后缀,-ut(e)是后缀,词根b-源自PIE词根*bheue-(存在)。B表房屋,引申指成长的地方,再抽象指存在之处、存在。tribute原指古罗马分裂成的三个政权或部族(即拉丁人、萨宾人和伊特鲁立亚人),引申指部族、三个部落之间的分配,也指给予、授予,16世纪80年代获得抽象含义“贡献、礼物、象征”。contribute指一起分配、一起给,即指捐献、贡献。
【例句】
Over the last few days I have worked hard and I am happy to be available and ready to give my contribution.
过去几天里我训练得很努力。我很高兴能回到球场,现在我准备好贡献自己的力量了。

【造词理据】前缀contr-表反对(against),词根rol(注意这里r被省略了一个)源自*ret-(跑、转),R表头,借“低头”指“跑”,后借“跑”指“滚动的车轮、滚动”。control指反向滚动,原指中世纪的一种反向复核的帐目检查方法,后引申指控制、指挥、限定。
【例句】
My feelings for you are very real although I'm afraid at times but I'm not able to have control over it.
我对你的感情是非常真实的,虽然我很害怕,但我有时不能够得到控制它。
【同根词】rotary、roll、rotation。
【造词理据】con-前缀,表一起,-ence是后缀,词根ven源自PIE词根*gwa-(去go、来come),G同C表骆驼,引申指行走。这里指一起走(而彼此协调的),引申指便利。
【例句】
Let's look into the matter tomorrow, if it suits your convenience.
如果你方便的话我们明天研究这个问题。

【讨论】魔法师认为,base应该有独立的造词视角和理据。base等与avenue不可视为同根词,词源书里将其视为同根词,可能与v与b的通转有关,这种通转是不符合造词视角的。
【造词理据】-ent是后缀,见convenience。
【例句】
Wujiang rich rice, rainbow trout, known as the land of plenty known, convenienttransportation and beautiful environment, outstanding.
