incessant

in-cess-ant

adj.不停的,連續的 [continuing without interruption; ceaseless; unending]

ex. the incessant noise

聯想：

我們之前有談過字根cess是"走"or"讓步"的的意思，比方說process

但是這邊的cess卻是從cease"停止"變過來的。

但我們還是可以用聯想法來背這個字，

in + cess(走) + ant "在走的狀態"-->不停的,連續的

字源： from L. in- "not" + cessantem (nom. cessans ), prp. of cessare "cease" .

review

字根 ced cess == go走、yield讓步
ceed

inch

n.英吋 (1 in = 1/12 foot = 2.54 cm)

v.緩慢地移動 [ to move by inches or small degrees]

ex. We inched our way along the road.

ex. He killed the man inch by inch.
他把那個人慢慢地折磨死了。

inch:move＝drawl:speak
緩慢地移動：移動＝慢聲慢氣地講話：說話

inchoate

adj.剛開始的 [just begun; incipient. ]

ex. inchoate ideas, attitudes, wishes, etc
初步的想法、態度、願望等

adj.未發展完成的 [not yet completed or fully developed; rudimentary.]

ex. experiences would be inchoate and unformed in the mind, if people can't comprehend them.

adj.沒有組織的 [not organized; lacking order]

聯想：inch + oat(麥片) + e "麥片緩慢地成長"->還在長->剛開始的、未發展完成的

字源：inchoate，是從"將牛軛放在牛上"的意思演化而來的，簡單的說就是要開始耕田囉~。

inchoate:realized
剛開始的的還沒有實現

incident

in-cid(=cad;fall)-ent

n.事件 [an individual occurrence .]

n.插曲 [Something contingent on or related to something else.]

ps.1 incident 的整體概念是，一個獨立的事件，它看起來是不重要的，但是有可能演變很嚴重的事故。比方說，某甲插隊，然後某乙用髒話罵某甲。到這邊可以稱為一個incident，目前看起來事情還沒怎樣，但有可能幾天後某甲帶人來堵某乙..。所以incident有"事件"的意思、也有"插曲"的意思。

ps.2 incident 與 event意涵上是有不同的唷，incident通常有負面意味，而event卻正反都可以，你可以說促銷活動是個event，但說incident就會比較奇怪。

adj.易發生的;伴隨而來的 [likely or apt to happen]

ex. the risks are incident to the life of a racing driver.
風險伴隨者賽車手的生活而來。

字源：from L. incidentem (nom. incidens ), prp. of incidere "happen, befall," from in- "on" + - cidere , comb. form of cadere "to fall"

incidence

in-cid(=cad;fall)-ence

n.事情發生的頻率or範圍(用於不好的事) [the rate or range of occurrence or influence of something, esp. of something unwanted]

ex. the high incidence of heart disease in men over 40 . (40歲以後的男子)

n.發生 [ a falling upon, affecting, or befalling; occurrence]

ex. 有種東西落下來的那種概念

ex. The incidence of murder that Sunday afternoon shocked the sleepy village.

n.【物】射入;入射角

in-cip(take)-i-ent [on the state of taking]

adj.初期的, 發端的(formal) [beginning to exist or appear; in an initial stage]
