dozen-drawing:抽屉的“抽泣”

【造词理据】混成词,由do+zen组成。其中,do-是源自PIE词根 *dwo- (二),象意,D表门,可能与D也指“两”扇门有关(见dobule和doubt)。zen-源自PIE词根 *dekm-(十),拟声,原指起源于奴隶文化的多达几十次的谩骂,并伴有鞭笞,借指几十次(约数),后指十(ten)。dozen进入宗教获得精确意义,特指十二(可能与耶稣的十二门徒有关)。

【例句】It was the last of its kind to have lived on the Asian mainland; a few dozen remain on Java. 这是最后一只生活在亚洲大陆上该种类犀牛,还有十几只生活在爪哇。
