记忆方法
记忆“metal”的方法可以是将它拆分成两个部分：“met”和“al”。首先，想象“met”和金属相关的动作，比如金属锤子（met-作为锤子的动作），这样可以帮助记住“met”与金属的处理或制作有关。接着，将“al”想象为“aluminum”（铝）的第一个字母，铝是一种金属，这样就能将“metal”和金属这一类别关联起来。通过这样的联想，可以更容易地记住“metal”这个单词。

metal: [13] Greek métallon, a word of unknown origin, had a range of meanings, including ‘mine’ (the original sense) and ‘mineral’ as well as ‘metal’. These were carried over into Latin metallum, but by the time the word reached English, via Old French metal, ‘metal’ was all that was left. Mettle [16] is a variant spelling of metal, used to distinguish its metaphorical senses.
Closely related is medal [16], which etymologically means ‘something made of metal’. It comes via French médaille and Italian medaglia from a general Romance form *medallia. This was an alteration of Vulgar Latin *metallea, a derivative of Latin metallum. Medallion [17] goes back via French to Italian medaglione ‘large medal’.
=> medal, medallion - metal (n.)
- mid-13c., from Old French metal "metal; material, substance, stuff" (12c.), from Latin metallum "metal; mine, quarry, mineral, what is got by mining," from Greek metallon "metal, ore" (senses only in post-classical texts; originally "mine, quarry, pit"), probably from metalleuein "to mine, to quarry," of unknown origin, but related somehow to metallan "to seek after." Compare Greek metalleutes "a miner," metalleia "a searching for metals, mining."
- metal (adj.)
- late 14c., from metal (n.).
