词源：
prestigious (adj.)1540s, “practicing illusion or magic, juggling; deluding, deceptive,” from Latin praestigious “full of tricks,” from praestigiae “juggler’s tricks,” probably altered by dissimilation from praestrigiae, from praestringere “to blind, blindfold, dazzle,” from prae “before” (see pre-) + stringere “to tie or bind” (see strain (v.)). Derogatory until 19c., marked as obsolete in Century Dictionary (1895); the positive meaning “having dazzling influence” is attested from 1913, from prestige. Related: Prestigiously; prestigiousness.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
著名的（形容词）1540年代，“练习幻觉或魔法，杂耍；迷惑，欺骗”，源自拉丁语 praestigious“充满戏法”，源自 praestigiae“杂耍者的戏法”，可能是通过与 praestrigiae 的异化而改变的，从 praestringere“到盲目的，蒙住眼睛的” , dazzle, 源自 prae “之前”（见 pre-）+ stringere “打结或捆绑”（见应变 (v.)）。 19世纪之前是贬义的，在《世纪词典》（1895）中标记为过时； “具有令人眼花缭乱的影响力”的积极含义从1913年就得到了证明，来自威望。相关： 享有盛誉；声望。相关条目及更多
