insolent 無禮的
in-,不，非，-sol,自己的，詞源同sole,self.即不像自己平時的表現(xiàn)，引申詞義反常的，過界的，最后過渡到傲慢的，無禮的。
英文詞源
- insolent (adj.)
- late 14c., "contemptuous, arrogant, haughty," from Latin insolentem (nominative insolens) "arrogant, immoderate," literally "unusual," from in- "not, opposite of" (see in- (1)) + solentem, present participle of solere "be accustomed," which possibly is related to sodalis "close companion," and to suescere "become used to." Meaning "contemptuous of rightful authority" is from 1670s. Related: Insolently.
