混在一起、沒有分類
這一格就是字根本身,畫面裡的那張桌子。
adjective · C2
Made up of many different things of different kinds, all mixed together with no order and no sorting. The source marks this as an old use.
混雜的
Picture a table where everything has been tipped together and nobody has sorted it: letters on top of tools, this year's things beside last year's. No sieve, no sorting, no choosing. Every use of this word comes back to that table — something that should have been separated out simply was not.
From Latin prōmiscuus 'mixed, not separated', from prō- 'forth' + misceō 'mix'.
來自拉丁文 prōmiscuus(混合的、沒有分開的),由 prō-(向前)加 misceō(混合)組成。所以「混而不分」是這個字最底層的意思,其他用法都是這個畫面用在不同地方。
