核心畫面
One way to hold this word: it is deny wearing an -er, the way a teacher is someone who teaches. But picture the person too — standing in front of something everyone else can see, and saying it is not there. That second half of the picture is why the word stings. Say it out loud and you can hear deny inside it: de-NI-er.

一種想法是:這個字就是 deny 穿上 -er,像 teach 變成 teacher 一樣。不過畫面裡最好也放進那個人——大家都看得見的東西擺在眼前,他站在前面說那個東西不存在。字會刺人,就是因為畫面的後半段:不是沒看到,是不肯看。唸出聲音也幫得上忙,de-NI-er 裡面就藏著 deny,跟量絲襪的 DEN-i-er 剛好不同。From the word’s history
From deny + -er, formed inside English with the ordinary agent-noun suffix.
由 deny 加上 -er 構成,是英文自己用最普通的「做某事的人」字尾造出來的詞。

That is where the measure came from: how fine the thread is, judged by how little a fixed length of it weighs. The coin is gone; the number survives on the label of a pair of . It is also said differently: DEN-i-er, stress at the front.

這是另一個完全不同的字,只是長得一樣。可以想成天平的一邊放著一枚古老的法國小錢幣,另一邊放著長長一段紗線。這個單位就是這樣來的:固定長度的紗有多重,就代表紗有多細。錢幣早就不用了,那個數字卻留在絲襪的標籤上,數字小是薄透,數字大是厚實。發音也不一樣,重音在最前面,唸 DEN-i-er。From the word’s history
Borrowed from French denier, from Latin dēnārius, the name of a coin; a doublet of dinar, denarius and dinero. The textile unit was originally defined by the weight of a denier coin per 9,600 aunes.
借自法文 denier,源自拉丁文 dēnārius,本來是錢幣的名字,和 dinar、denarius、dinero 同源。紡織單位最初就是用一枚 denier 錢幣的重量、對應固定長度的紗線來定義的。
