短释义

长释义
Trite has a Latin root, the past participle of terere, meaning “wear out.” An old-fashioned or outdated definition of the word is “frayed or worn out by use,” and you can see how the meaning for an object that is worn out can be applied to an idea that has been used to the point of being meaningless. The antonym of this word is original.
Trite 有一个拉丁词根,terere 的过去分词,意思是“磨损”。这个词的老式或过时定义是“因使用而磨损或磨损”,您可以看到磨损对象的含义如何应用于已经使用到毫无意义的想法.这个词的反义词是原始的。
