| 词汇 | word to the wise |
| 词源 | word to the wise. So old is this expression that it probably goes back beyond the Latin verbum sapienti that it is a transla- tion of. Verbum sapienti is so well known in British university usage that it is commonly rendered as verb. sap. there. A word to the wise (is enough) is recorded in English as early as the 15th century. An old variant is a word to the wise suffices. |
