问题 Illustrate with examples the types of words from proper names.
选项
答案(1) Names of people. Words of this group are from names of scientists, inventors, characters in mythology, historical figures and characters in literary works, etc. e. g. ampere and watt are from French physicist Ampere and Scottish inventor Watt respectively. (2)Names of places. Many words denoting products, objects, or materials come from the names of places where they were first produced, e. g. afghan (a kind of knitted rug) first made in Afghanistan. (3)Names of books. Quite a few words come from names of books and thus take on the meanings associated with the names described in the books, e. g. Catch-22(a problematic situation for which the only solution is denied by a circumstance inherent in the problem or by a rule). (4)Tradenames. Words like nylon, orlon, dacron, rayon were originally tradenames and are now used to denote the four types of fabric.
