长释义
Controversies are usually public disagreements about important matters. The adjective controversial is from the Latin from controversus “disputed,” formed from the prefix contra- “against” plus versus, from vertere “to turn.” The Latin suffix –ialis, corresponding to the English suffixes –ial and –al, means “relating to or characterized by.”
争议通常是关于重要事项的公开分歧。形容词 controversed 来自拉丁语 controversus“有争议”,由前缀 contra-“against”加 versus 和 vertere“to turn”组成。拉丁语后缀 –ialis 与英语后缀 –ial 和 –al 相对应,意思是“关于或以其为特征”。
