英文词源
photo
**photo: **[19] Greek _phōs _meant ‘light’ (it was related to Sanskrit bhā- ‘shine’). Its stem form phōto- was used by the astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1839 to coin the term photograph, based on the Greek element -_graphos _‘writing’, and perhaps inspired by a parallel German formation _photographie _which had appeared a little earlier the same year. The word’s living connection with the concept ‘light’ has now been virtually severed, but it still flourishes in, for example, _photoelectric _[19], _photometer _[18], _photon _[20], and _photosynthesis _[19].
=> phosphorus, photon
