英语词汇latin words in english的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Latin words in English. Though many Latin words and phrases are the basis for words in the English lexicon, very few can be traced directly back to the Roman occupation of Britain, which lasted almost 400 years, a.d. 43–410. Strangely enough, there are more ruins than there are words attesting to the Ro- man stay, the latter including port, portal, mountain, and chester (from the Latin castra, camp) that forms part of place names such as Winchester and Manchester. Latin words form about half of the English vocabulary, but the great majority came into the language during and after the Renaissance.
