长释义
Vehement is from Latin and was originally applied to intense natural phenomena: pain, heat, wind, etc. It is now more commonly used for intense emotions or beliefs. With the adverb form, people can be vehemently in favor of something, but the more common usage is for people to be vehemently opposed to something. Many people, for example, are vehemently opposed to politicians they didn’t vote for, other people spoiling the endings of movies or books, or someone else taking the last piece of chocolate. The stress is on the first syllable (VEE-uh-ment).
Vehement 来自拉丁语,最初用于强烈的自然现象:疼痛、热、风等。现在更常用于强烈的情绪或信念。使用副词形式,人们可以强烈赞成某事,但更常见的用法是人们强烈反对某事。例如,许多人强烈反对他们没有投票给的政客,其他人破坏电影或书籍的结局,或者其他人拿走最后一块巧克力。重音在第一个音节 (VEE-uh-ment)。

词源
vehement (adj.)early 15c., from Old French vehement, veement "impetuous, ardent" (12c.), from Latin vehementem (nominative vehemens) "impetuous, eager, violent, furious, ardent, carried away," perhaps [Barnhart] from a lost present middle participle of vehere "to carry" (from PIE root wegh- "to go, move, transport in a vehicle"). The other theory is that it represents vehe- "lacking, wanting" + mens "mind." Related: Vehemently.Related entries & more 

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
vehement(形容词)15 世纪初,源自古法语 vehement,veement“浮躁、热情”(12c.),源自拉丁语 vehementem(主格 vehemens)“浮躁、热切、暴力、愤怒、热情、忘乎所以”,也许 [Barnhart ] 来自 vehere“携带”的丢失的现在中间分词(来自 PIE 词根
wegh-“去,移动,在车辆中运输”)。另一种理论是它代表 vehe-“缺乏,想要”+ 男人的“思想”。相关:Vehemently.Related 条目及更多
