1. 1係數

    In maths, a coefficient is the number that sits in front of a letter and multiplies it. In 3x, 3 is the coefficient: it means three times whatever x is. If no number is written, the coefficient is 1, though students often miss that silent 1. The same idea shows up in science, where a coefficient is a number that tells you how strongly one thing scales another — how much friction there is, how much something expands when it gets hot. It is a classroom and textbook word, not street talk. Though actually it does not mean “efficient together.” English took it from French; the French François Viète gave the word this use. The Latin behind it is built from co- (together) and a verb meaning to bring something about, but in class you can treat it as “the number that multiplies.”

組成From French coefficient, used this way by the mathematician François Viète. Behind that: Latin co- (together) + a stem from a verb meaning to bring about or work out.
