1、Latin surdus "deaf, unheard, silent, mute". => surd-: deaf, unheard, silent, mute.
2、surd- => surd: irrational.
3、咱们汉语里有表达这种关联的形象的成语:掩耳盗铃、装聋作哑、充耳不闻;这些行为是不是都非常的荒唐、荒谬、无理取闹啊!因此,由词根含义转变到、引申到单词含义自然就水到渠成了。
4、ab- "away, off; 由于该前缀的这层含义,在这里添加在surd之前更加强了surd的含义,为什么呢?想一想充耳不闻、装聋作哑地走开(away, off),就明白了!" + surd- / surd => absurd.
5、In surd, the mathematical sense is from the use of Latin surdus to translate Arabic (jadhr) asamm "deaf (root)," itself a loan-translation of Greek alogos, literally "speechless, without reason".
6、In French, sourd remains the principal word for "deaf".
absurd 荒谬的

前缀ab-,此处用于强调义。词根sur, 模糊不清的说话,拟声词,见susurration,沙沙声,杂音。此处词义由杂音扩大为听不清,听不懂,荒谬。
