词根

"Previously" 这个单词由两部分组成，前缀 pre- 和词根 -vious，再加上后缀 -ly。前缀 pre- 意为“在前、在先”，词根 -vious 来自拉丁词根 -via，意为“道路”或“方式”。所以，"previously" 这个单词的字面意思就是“按照之前的方式”。词根 -vious 的其他单词有：obvious（显然的），deviate（偏离）

释义

adv. 以前；预先；仓促地

例句

强化记忆

你可以将 "previously" 拆分为 "pre-" 和 "-viously" 两部分记忆，前缀 "pre-" 是指在……之前，"viously" 则让人联想到 "obvious"（显然的），因此可以理解为"之前显然"，以此技巧记住它。这个词源自拉丁文词根 -via。在欧美文化中，“previously”经常被用于叙述一种时间的先后顺序关系。
