-more |
| 释义 |
-more, suffix|mɔə(r)|
forming advs. of place (rarely of time) in the comparative degree (most of which have given rise to adjs. of identical form). Chiefly appended to advs. having already the comparative ending -er, as in backermore, downermore, farthermore, furthermore, hindermore, innermore, outermore, overmore, rathermore, uttermore; in the 16–17th c. a few formations occur in which it is added to a positive or uncompared adv., as hindmore, hithermore, inmore, Sc. yonder mair.
The suffix is identical with more adv.; the addition of this adv. to comparatives occurs in Scandinavian, as ON. fyrrmeir earlier, firrmeir farther off, nǽrmeir nearer, OSw. innarmer = innermore, nithirmer = nethermore. The earliest instances in Eng. occur in the Ormulum (furthermore) and the Cursor Mundi (farthermore, innermore); it is therefore likely that the use was originally due to Scandinavian influence. But the majority of the comparatives in -more were formed to correspond to previously existing superlatives in -most, which were partly altered forms of OE. superlatives in -m-est, and partly new formations on the analogy of these. |
