Harmonious 来自于词根 “-harmony-”,具有和平、和谐的意思。衍生词有 harmonic (和谐的),disharmony (不和谐)。
Harmonious 是由 “-harmony-”(词根,和谐) + “-ous” (后缀,表示……的)组成,所以 “harmonious” 本身可以理解为 “and 谐的”。
Harmonious 源自于 16 世纪的拉丁语 “harmonicus”,表达一种和谐和平衡的观念,这在多元文化和多样性的欧美社会中是一个广受欢迎的理念。
名词形式是 “harmony”(和谐,一致); 副词形式是 “harmoniously”(和谐地)。
您可以通过联想 “harm” + “no”+“us”,意为 “对我们无害”,这种状态就是和谐。
