英文詞源
- maximum
- maximum: [18] Maximum was adopted, via French, from maximum, the neuter form of Latin maximus ‘largest’. This was the superlative of magnus ‘large’ (source of English magnitude, magnum, etc). From the same ultimate source comes maxim [15], which goes back via French maxime to Latin maxima. This was short for maxima prōpositio ‘largest proposition’, a term used in medieval philosophy for a ‘fundamental axiom’.
=> magnitude, magnum, maxim - maximum (n.)
- 1740, from French maximum and directly from Latin maximum (plural maxima), neuter of maximus "greatest," which is superlative of magnus "great, large" (see magnum).
- maximum (adj.)
- 1834, from maximum (n.).
