每日一字 12

neat - 中譯: 整潔
1540s, "clean, free from dirt," from Anglo-Fr. neit, M.Fr. net "clear, pure," from L. nitidus "well-favored, elegant, trim," lit. "gleaming," from nitere "to shine," from PIE root *nei- "to shine" (cf. M.Ir. niam "gleam, splendor," niamda "shining;" O.Ir. noib "holy," niab "strength;" Welsh nwyfiant "gleam, splendor").

Meaning "inclined to be tidy" is from 1570s. Of liquor, "straight," c.1800, from meaning "unadulterated" (of wine), which is first attested 1570s. Informal sense of "very good" first recorded 1934 in American English; variant neato is teenager slang, first recorded 1968. Related: Neatly; neatness.

另一個用法: 「正斗」

例句: It's neat - 中譯: 件事好正

話說成日落個客度,會帶好多線、手指、線、手指、線、手指... 等等,搵起嚟都唔易。响淘寶見到 COCOON GRID-IT Organizer, 除咗係好正嘅 Neat, 仲係整潔嘅 Neat!
