<注釋>Cute is a good example of how a shortened form of a word can take on a life of its own, developing a sense that dissociates it from the longer word from which it was derived.Cute was originally a shortened form of acute in the sense .keenly perceptive or discerning, shrewd.. In this sensecute is first recorded in a dictionary published in 73. Probablycute came to be used as a term of approbation for things demonstrating acuteness, and so it went on to develop its own sense of .attractive, fetching,.first recorded with reference to .gals. in 838.
Cute 一詞是詞的縮略形式如何能獲得自身意義的一個很好例子， 它發(fā)展了一種使其從可以推源的長詞中脫離出來的意思。Cute 原先是 acute 一詞的縮略形式，意為.洞察力或識別力極其敏銳的.。 在這個意義上，cute 最早被記錄于73年出版的一本詞典中。 Cute 可能逐漸被用作描述顯示敏銳性事物的褒義詞， 由此它繼續(xù)發(fā)展了自身的意思.漂亮的、迷人的.，該意思于838年被首次記載在有關(guān).加侖.的記錄中
