记忆“horizon”可以将其分解为两个部分:“hor”和“izon”。想象一个水平的线(“izon”)在地平线(“hor”)上延伸,这样就形成了一个宽广的地平线(“horizon”),代表着视野的边界。这个视觉联想可以帮助记忆。

horizon
horizon: [14] Etymologically, the horizon is simply a ‘line forming a boundary’. The word comes via Old French orizon and late Latin horīzōn from Greek horízōn, a derivative of the verb horīzein ‘divide, separate’ (source also of English aphorism [16], originally a ‘definition’). This in turn came from the noun hóros ‘boundary, limit’. Horizontal [16], which came either from French or directly from late Latin, originally meant simply ‘of the horizon’; it was not until the 17th century that it began to be used in its modern sense ‘flat, level’.
=> aphorism
horizon (n.)
late 14c., orisoun, from Old French orizon (14c., Modern French horizon), earlier orizonte (13c.), from Latin horizontem (nominative horizon), from Greek horizon kyklos "bounding circle," from horizein "bound, limit, divide, separate," from horos "boundary." The h- was restored 17c. in imitation of Latin. Old English used eaggemearc ("eye-mark") for "limit of view, horizon."
