hunch
n.第六感 [An intuitive feeling or a premonition]

我有快要下雪的預感。
n [hump駝背; lump腫塊; chunk大塊.]
v.彎腰駝背 [To bend or draw up into a hump]
ex. I hunched my shoulders against the wind.
字源：originally (1581) a verb, "to push, thrust," of unknown origin. Meaning "raise or bend into a hump" is 1598, in hunchbacked. Perhaps a variant of bunch. Figurative sense of "hint, tip" (a "push" toward a solution or answer), first recorded 1849, led to that of "premonition, presentiment" (1904).
hunch最早的意思是"push, thrust推"，不久後有了"隆起"的意思，而"第六感"的字義是在200多年後才有的唷。(這就像現在人用"敗了iphone"，敗這個字指的是"買"的意思，古代人可能搞不清楚吧哈~，字是會慢慢演化的呢!!)
ps. 在不擇手段背單字的文件中，寫到「源於古希臘神話中星神的Hunch寒池，主管預知未來，曾經預測了Narcissus ( n.水仙花 ) 與Echo (n.回聲 ) 的悲劇。」--但xination卻沒查到其他網站有這樣的說法，找不到Greek Mythology中有Hunch這位神。

tropical cyclone n.熱帶氣旋 (它會進一步形成hurricane, 或者是更強的typhoon) [a cyclone that originates over a tropical ocean area and can develop into the destructive storm known in the U.S. as a hurricane, in the western Pacific region as a typhoon, and elsewhere by other names.]
typhoon n.颱風 [ A tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific or Indian oceans. ]
ps.1 來看一下台灣與美國對於tropical cyclone強度的說法
in USA hurricane的強度是用category來分的1, 2, 3, 4,5 這樣，像Katrina是category 4
in TW typhoon的強度，用的輕度颱風，中度，強度..
而category 1的風速就已經算是中度颱風的範圍了唷。category 3等同台灣的強度颱風
ps. 2 歷史記錄上最大的颱風 TIP
husband
n. 丈夫
v.節儉式地管理 [To use sparingly or economically; conserve]
ex. husband one's energy.
聯想：古代人一家之主，通常是男性，所以housband叫丈夫。古代husband的工作通常是務農，所以husband有農夫的意思。另外錢是husband賺的，因此曾有個字義為"財產管理人"，而後衍生成動詞型"節儉式地管理"。
字源：O.E. husbonda "male head of a household," probably from O.N. husbondi "master of the house, " from hus "house" + bondi "householder, dweller, freeholder, peasant," from buandi, prp. of bua "to dwell" The sense of "peasant farmer" (c.1220) is preserved in husbandry (first attested c.1380 in this sense). Beginning c.1290, replaced O.E. wer as "married man," companion of wif, a sad loss for Eng. poetry. The verb "manage thriftily" is 1440, from the noun in the obsolete sense of "steward" (c.1450). Slang shortening hubby first attested 1688.
簡單的摘要一下，hushand這個字，最早的意思就是"丈夫"，來源與house有關。其後還發展出了" 農夫 "的字義，但此字義今日已經不用了，但概念還存留在husbandry字中。動詞型是較晚才發展出來的，其意為"節儉式地管理"，來源是從husband的一個已廢的字義"steward;財產管理人;管家"而來的。
