楼上的liumx兄回帖老爱牵连进些词源学来,想必是专家了。拿底下这几条东西请教一下——跟光的关系大概是不成问题的,没光就看不见了嘛,所以不用说(开个玩笑,liumx这个ID也跟光很有点关系的吧?“记忆没有糊弄我的话,”松下的DC都叫Lumix)。
theory
1592, "conception, mental scheme," from L.L. theoria (Jerome), from Gk. theoria "contemplation, speculation, a looking at, things looked at," from theorein "to consider, speculate, look at," from theoros "spectator," from thea "a view" + horan "to see." Sense of "principles or methods of a science or art (rather than its practice)" is first recorded 1613. That of "an explanation based on observation and reasoning" is from 1638. The verb theorize is recorded from 1638.
