Did You Know?
The affection an aficionado has for their favorite subject isn't merely emotional—it's also etymological. Back in the early 1800s, English borrowed aficionado from the past participle of the Spanish verb aficionar, which means "to inspire affection." That verb comes from the Spanish noun afición, meaning "affection." Both Spanish words trace to the Latin affectiō (which is also an ancestor of the English word affection). Affectiō, in turn, is from afficere ("to influence") and gave English speakers the noun and verb affect.
Aficionado[狂热者]对他们最喜欢的事物的感情不仅仅是emotional[情感上的]-这也是etymological[词源上的]。早在1800年代初,英语aficionado就从西班牙语动词aficionar的过去分词中借来 的,意思是“to inspire affection[激发感情]”。该动词来自西班牙语名词afición,意为“affection[感情]”。两个西班牙语单词都可以追溯到拉丁语“affectiō ”(也是英语单词“ affection”的祖先)。反过来,Affectiō是来自afficere(“to influence[影响]”),它为英语使用者提供了名词和动词的affect[情感]。
