| 例句 | enthuse verb 1.•I enthused about the idea:rave about, be enthusiastic about, gush over, wax lyrical about, be effusive about, get all worked up about, rhapsodize about | praise to the skies, extol | informal go wild/mad/crazy about/over/for, ballyhoo. 2.•he enthuses people:motivate, inspire, stimulate, encourage, spur (on), galvanize, rouse, excite, stir (up), fire | rare inspirit.USAGE enthuse The verb enthuse is a back-formation from the noun enthusiasm and, like many verbs formed from nouns in this way, it is regarded by traditionalists as unacceptable. Enthuse has been in the language for more than 150 years, but, before using the word in formal writing, be aware that readers familiar with its Greek meaning may find casual usage misguided or irritating. Enthusiasm derives from a word originally meaning 'to become inspired or possessed by a god' ( en ‘in’ + theos ‘god’). From the traditionalist point of view, •inspired or •excited is preferable to •enthused.Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage. |
