prolific
英 [pr?'l?f?k]
美 [pr?'l?f?k]
助記提示
1. proli- + fic-.
2. => 多產(chǎn)的；豐富的。
3. prol-詞根也可以納入，prol-用于元音開頭的詞根前，proli-用于輔音開頭的詞根前，但是由于目前沒有prol-銜接元音開頭的詞根的單詞，因此就將prol-省略掉了。
中文詞源

英文詞源
- 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]
