💡 深入解读

Rectitude 是一个与常见单词 attitude, altitude,latitude以及小站推送过的multitude和aptitude有着相同结尾的单词,可以一并联想记忆。该词由词根 rect (直的;正确的)+抽象名词后缀 -itude 构成,源自拉丁语rectus(直的),15世纪初经古法语rectitude或者直接由晚期拉丁语rectitudinem(平直、垂直)进入英语,也是用来表示“直、笔直”。不过这一字面含义现在较少使用。但从这个概念出发,等到了16世纪30年代后, rectitude 开始引申出当今主要含义指“正直、公正、诚实、操行端正”,常作正式用语使用,主要指按照公认标准以正确、诚实和道德的方式思考或行事的人所表现出来的品质或态度,

比如:

清廉

financial rectitude

people of the utmost moral rectitude最为正直的人

An austere man of unquestioned moral rectitude, Nava inspired deep devotion in those who worked for him.纳瓦的简朴作风和正直品行有口皆碑,使得员工们对其忠心耿耿。
