1. proli- + fic-.
2. => 多产的；丰富的。
3. prol-词根也可以纳入，prol-用于元音开头的词根前，proli-用于辅音开头的词根前，但是由于目前没有prol-衔接元音开头的词根的单词，因此就将prol-省略掉了。
prolific 多产的，富庶的来自拉丁语proles,子孙，后代，-fic,产生，制造，词源同efficacy,fact.比喻用法。
- prolific (adj.)
- 1640s, from French prolifique (16c.), from Medieval Latin prolificus, from Latin proles "offspring" + root of facere "to make" (see factitious). Latin proles is contracted from *pro-oles, from PIE *pro-al-, from *pro- "forth" (see pro-) + *al- "to grow, nourish" (see old). Related: Prolifical (c. 1600).
Prolific is in common use, but to make a satisfactory noun from it has passed the wit of man. [Fowler]
