英文词源


tangible
tangible: [16] Tangible means literally ‘touchable’. It comes via French tangible from late Latin tangibilis, a derivative of Latin tangere ‘touch’. Other English words from this source include tangent [16], etymologically a line ‘touching’ a circle. Its past participle tactus has contributed contact, intact, and tact, while the base from which it was formed, *tag-, has also produced contagion, contaminate, entire, and integrity.
=> contact, contagion, contaminate, intact, integrity, tact, task, taste, tax
tangible (adj.)
1580s, "capable of being touched," from Middle French tangible and directly from Late Latin tangibilis "that may be touched," from Latin tangere "to touch" (see tangent (adj.)). Sense of "material" (as in tangible reward) is first recorded 1610s; that of "able to be realized or dealt with" is from 1709. Related: Tangibly.
