分析

-acious 是-acity or -acy  (n.)的變化型:指"是..性質的"、"是..狀態的"

所以是指完全看透的狀態-->解題出來的意思-->有穎悟力的

 

-ous,指"full of ..."

所以是到處充滿清晰可讀(能看懂)-->指文章寫的很清楚-->清晰明白的

ps. In economics, austerity is a policy of deficit-cutting, lower spending, and a reduction in the amount of benefits and public services provided.

"Austerity" was named the word of the year by Merriam-Webster in 2010.

from wiki: Austerity measures are typically taken if there is a threat that a government cannot honor its debt liabilities. Such a situation may arise if a government has borrowed in foreign currencies that they have no right to issue or they have been legally forbidden from issuing their own currency. In such a situation, banks may lose trust in a government's ability and/or willingness to pay and either refuse to roll over existing debts or demand extremely high interest rates. In such situations, inter-governmental institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) may demand austerity measures in exchange for functioning as a lender of last resort. When the IMF requires such a policy, the terms are known as 'IMF conditionalities'.
