短释义:
In Middle English, affluent meant “abundant, flowing,” from Old French, from Latin affluēns, from affluere “to abound in,” from the prefix ad- “to, at” plus fluere “to flow.” The meaning of “abundant, flowing” is still seen in phrases such as “affluent prose.” But mostly, when you use the word affluent, the thing understood to be flowing is cash.

在中古英语中,afflue 的意思是“丰富的、流动的”,源自古法语、拉丁语 affluēns、affluere“丰富”、前缀 ad-“to、at”加上 Fluere“流动”。 “丰富、流畅”的含义仍然可以在“丰富的散文”等短语中看到。但大多数情况下,当你使用“富裕”这个词时,所理解的流动的东西是现金。

The especial sense of “abounding in wealth or possessions” is from 1753.also from 15c.
