💡 记忆钩子
把一个人想成站在高处、身上发光的人：光彩先让他脱颖而出，后来就引申为成就卓越、地位显赫并受人尊敬的“杰出人物”。
📝 学习建议
- 先把它记作“杰出而受尊敬的”，不要只按“有名”来理解；单纯知名但并不卓越的人通常不适合用这个词。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 杰出的；显赫的📖 指一个人或其成就非常卓越、值得尊敬，因此在社会上享有很高声望并广为人知；重点不只是“有名”，而是“因出色而有名”。💡 常用“illustrious + 人物”或“an illustrious career/record”等搭配，通常放在名词前作定语。它属于正式、赞扬性较强的词，适合介绍历史人物、学者、领袖或杰出成就。中文里只想表达“知名”时不要一律换成它，因为这个词往往还包含卓越和荣誉意味。The award was presented by an illustrious scientist whose work changed modern medicine.这项奖由一位杰出的科学家颁发，他的研究改变了现代医学。

🌳 词源
源自拉丁语，原有“明亮、闪耀”的意思，后来引申为“显赫、杰出”。
From Latin illūstris (“bright, shining; distinguished, prominent, illustrious”) + -ous (suffix forming adjectives from nouns, to denote possession or presence of a quality in any degree). Illūstris is derived from illūstrō (“to brighten, illuminate; to make famous or illustrious”), from in- (“in, inside”) + lūstrō (“to purify by making a sacrifice; to brighten, illuminate”) (from lūstrō (“purificatory sacrifice”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“bright; to shine”) or *lewh₃- (“to wash”)).
