将“mercurial”分解为“mercury”(水星)和“-ial”,想象水星般快速变化的人或事物,因为水星在黄道十二宫中移动速度最快,因此可以用来记忆“mercurial”表示变化无常、易变的特质。

mercurial (adj.)
late 14c., "pertaining to the planet Mercury" (see Mercury). Meaning "sprightly, volatile, quick" (1590s) is from supposed qualities of those born under the planet Mercury (they also are the qualities of the god Mercury), probably also partly by association with the qualities of quicksilver. A variant in this sense was mercurious (1590s). Related: Mercurially; mercuriality.
