Did You Know?

Since around 1600 limpid has been used in English to describe things that have the soft clearness of pure water. The aquatic connection is not incidental; language scholars believe that limpid probably traces to lympha a Latin word meaning "water." That same Latin root is also the source of the word lymph the English name for the pale liquid that helps maintain the body's fluid balance and that removes bacteria from tissues.

大约从1600年开始，“limpid”就被用在英语中来形容那些像纯净水一样柔和清澈的东西。与水有关的连接并非偶然存在；语言学者认为，limpid『清澈』一词可以追溯到“lympha”，“lympha”是拉丁文，意为“水”。这个拉丁词根也是 lymph 一词的来源，是一种浅色液体的英文名词，它有助于维持身体的体液平衡，清除组织中的细菌。
