释义
n.
A medical condition in which the blood has too few red blood cells or too little hemoglobin, causing fatigue and pallor.
贫血(症):血液中红细胞或血红蛋白过少的病症,会导致疲劳和面色苍白。
词根拆分
词根派生an-(没有)+ em(血)+ -ia(病症)= 「缺血」的状况。它不是说没有血,而是血液里该有的东西(红细胞和血红蛋白)太少。前缀 an- 是希腊语的否定前缀,和 agnostic、anonymous 里那个「不」是同一个。
词根 em 还连着 4 个词使用指南
拼写:美式 anemia / 英式 anaemia。读长音 e:/əˈniːmiə/。形容词是 anemic。
