註釋
Anyone who has ever responded to the cries of a howling infant may find it difficult to believe the etymology of the word infant. The source of our word is the Latin word o3ns} (stem form, or form to which inflections are added, o- ), meaning 「a little child; strictly, one who does not yet speak.」 The noun is from the adjective o3ns,} meaning 「not having the power of speech」 and 「newly born」 and made up of the negative prefix in- and the present participle f3, 「speaking,」 of the verb f3o,} 「to speak.」 Latin o3ns} and its Old French descendant enfant could both be used to refer to a speaking child, and the earliest recorded use (around 1384) of their Middle English descendant infaunte, the ancestor of our word, is in the sense 「child.」 This use gave rise to our legal sense of infant, 「a minor,」 thus reminding us of individuals who can be very talkative indeed.
只要是聽過嬰兒啼哭聲的人，就難以相信infant 的詞源是這樣來的： 這個詞的詞源是拉丁文infans （派生形式，即加了詞尾的變體， infant- )， 意思是「一個小孩子；嚴格地說，是指還不會說話的幼兒」。 名詞是由形容詞infans 演化而來的， 它的意思是「不會說話的」「新生的」，由反義前綴in 和現在分詞 fans 「說話的」構成的， 其動詞原形為fari 意思是「說話」。 拉丁字infans 及它的古法語派生字 enfant 都可以用來指會說話的幼兒； 它們的派生詞、我們這個字的鼻祖是中古英語字infaunte ，其最早的記載約在1384年左右， 那時的意思是「兒童」。 這樣，我們這個字的法定意義infant 「未成年人」就出現了； 這使我們想起那些十分健談的人
