ps.無敵艦隊 = Armada (全名la Armada Invencible)
iodine
n.碘
字源：from Greek ioeidēs"violet-colored" : ion, violet + -oeidēs, -oid
iodine前面的iod是從希臘文的紫色來的

n.極微小量 [a very small quantity]
ex. He's never shown an iota of interest in any kind of social work.
n.希臘語字母第九字 [the ninth letter of the Greek alphabet (I, ι).]

equiv. to īr(a) ire + -ā- theme vowel + -sc- inchoative suffix + -ī inf.

irascible的字根是ira這個字，它就是ire n.anger的意思
補充一下，字典這邊說irasci的字構是由 ir(a) + a + sc
其中a-- theme vowel是在拉丁文的一個特色：功能是發音而加上的
而sc -- inchoative suffix -- 它就是v+ing的ing功能一樣
聯想：其實也可以用rad這個字根來記，rad 是擦去的意思，摩擦就會火氣大~~容易生氣
rad == scrape
