1、simul-t-aneous. simul- "at the same time".
2、其中的字母t是模仿单词instantaneous、spontaneous等的形式而来,但是这些单词中的字母t是词根的一部分,而simultaneous中的字母t则不是,因此这种模仿只是模仿其表象、形式而已。
3、后缀-aneous来源于拉丁语后缀:-aneus,由后缀-ane(它是后缀-an的一种变体,用于分化出有关联的新含义)和-us复合而成,由于在很多情形下,英语后缀-ous等价于拉丁语后缀-us,所以:-aneus => -aneous.
simultaneous 同时的,同步的来自拉丁语 simul,同一时间,词源同 same,simulate,-taneous,形容词后缀,衍生自 spontaneous. 引申词义同时的,同步的。
