phantom[phantom 词源字典]

phantom: [13] Like fancy and fantasy, phantom goes back ultimately to the Greek verb phantázein ‘make visible’, a derivative of phaínein ‘show’ (source also of English diaphanous and phenomenon [17]). From phantázein was derived the noun phántasma ‘apparition, spectre’, which passed into Latin as phantasma. This reached English in two separate forms: as phantom, via Old French fantosme; and as phantasm [13], via Old French fantasme. The latter formed the basis of the fanciful coinage (originally French) phantasmagoria [19]. Other related English words are emphasis and pant.
