出拳的那一個
這一組直接坐在核心畫面上:動詞 box 加上 -er,指出做這個動作的那一方。
noun · B1
Someone who boxes — who fights another person in a ring, wearing thick padded gloves and following rules — especially as a job.
拳擊手
box + -er: the one that boxes. A verb with a person-shaped ending on it, so the picture is simply whoever, or whatever, is doing the punching.
The source gives two separate routes. The English noun is box + -er, made inside English. The dog is a straight borrowing from German Boxer, itself boxen + -er. Same spelling, two histories.
來源資料給了兩條不同的路。英文的 boxer 是在英文裡用 box + -er 造出來的。狗的 boxer 則是整個從德文 Boxer 借來,而德文那個字也是 boxen(用拳頭打)加 -er。拼法一樣,來歷不同。
