Did You Know?
Don't let the etymology of jocund play tricks on you. The word comes from jucundus, a Latin word meaning "agreeable" or "delightful," and ultimately from the Latin verb juvare, meaning "to help." But jucundus looks and sounds a bit like jocus, the Latin word for "joke." These two roots took a lively romp through many centuries together and along the way the lighthearted jocus influenced the spelling and meaning of jucundus, an interaction that eventually resulted in our modern English word jocund in the 14th century.
不要让jocund的词源捉弄了你。这个词来源于拉丁语 juucundus，意思是“agreeable「令人愉快的」”或“delightful「愉快的」”，最终来源于拉丁语动词 juvare，意思是“ to help「帮助」 ”。但是 juucundus 看起来和听起来有点像 jocus，拉丁语的意思是“joke「笑话」”。这两个词根在许多个世纪里一路走来，在这个过程中轻松愉快的jocus 影响了 juucundus 的拼写及含义，最终在14世纪产生了现代英语单词jocund。
