| 词汇 | tandem |
| 词源 | tandem. Tandem is a humorous coinage, first recorded in 1785. Some anonymous wit took the Latin tandem, “at length of time,” and punningly applied it to a carriage drawn by two or more horses harnessed not side by side, but one before the other—strung out in a line or at length. In tandem has come to mean “in association or partnership” as well as “one following the other.” |
