曾見到這么一段話："And if you ever get the chance to try some of those Buffalo Wing Flavored Potato Chips, you shouldn't pass up the opportunity. I've found that each of the available brands are all equally toothsome."意思是說，這種特殊口味薯?xiàng)l的品牌當(dāng)中，每一種都是那么美味可口。其中，"toothsome"是一個值得好好研究的詞。
"Toothsome"是一個很有用的詞，它最早出現(xiàn)于16世紀(jì)，有兩種意思。第一種意思是 “pleasing to the taste; delicious; appetizing”。這層意思源于tooth這個字的一種特殊詞義 “the sense of taste; tastiness.”
后綴-some一般用于名詞變做形容詞，表達(dá)的意思通常是 “l(fā)ike; tending to; characterized by a certain quality, condition, action, etc.” 用這個模式來套用"toothsome"一詞，也就成了刺激胃口的，可口的。
