NEBULOUS in Context

Did You Know?

Nebulous may sound other-worldly—after all, it’s related to nebula, which refers to a distant galaxy or an interstellar cloud of gas or dust—but its mysteriousness is rooted in more earthly unknowns. Both words ultimately come from Latin nebula, meaning “mist, cloud,” and as far back as the 14th century nebulous could mean simply “cloudy” or “foggy.” Nebulous has since the late 17th century been the adjective correlating to nebula (as in “nebulous gas”), but the word is more familiar in its figurative use, where it describes things that are indistinct or vague, as when Jack London wrote of “ideas that were nebulous at best and that in reality were remembered sensations.”

Nebulous 可能聽起來超凡的—— 它與 nebula 有關，指遙遠的星系或星際氣體或塵埃雲——但它的來源是神秘未知的。 這兩個詞最終都來自拉丁語 nebula，意思是“迷失「霧」、cloud「雲」”，而早在 14 世紀，nebulous 就簡單地用于“cloudy「多雲的」”或“foggy「有霧的」”。 自 17 世紀後，Nebulous 就一直是與nebula「星雲」有關的形容詞（如“nebulous gas”），但它更多用于比喻用途，描述模糊的事物，就像 Jack London 寫道“ 模糊的想法，實際上是記憶的感覺。”
