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
