英语词汇small solace的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	small solace
词源	small solace. Solace, meaning “comfort, consolation,” came into the language about 1300, but no dictionary seems to have recorded the common phrase small solace, “consolation that doesn’t help much,” as in “You’ll find small solace in the bottle.” All my search turned up was great solace (grat solas), first re- corded in 1400. Solace derives ultimately from the Latin solari, “to console.”
