The Word of the Day for July 15, 2010 is:
ab initio \ab-ih-NISH-ee-oh\ adverb
: from the beginning
Example Sentence:
"What does not exist ab initio is wealth; wealth must be created by
sustained human effort." (Richmond Times Dispatch [Virginia], December
14, 2008)
這個觀念值得思考。
Did you know?
We'll tell you right from the beginning where "ab initio" comes from. This
adverb was adopted at the end of the 16th century directly from Latin, and it
translates, unsurprisingly, as "from the beginning." ("Initio" is a form of
the noun "initium," meaning "beginning," which gave rise to such English
words as "initial," "initiate," and "initiative.") "Ab initio" most
frequently appears in legal contexts, but our example sentence is not out of
the norm. Recently, people have also begun using "ab initio" as an adjective
meaning "starting from or based on first principles" (as in "predicted from
ab initio calculations").
