core 镊子📖 一种两片尖端可以合拢的细小工具，像一只精准的小手，能够夹取邮票等小物品，也能拔掉毛发或夹出木刺。💡 常用“用镊子＋拔／夹／取＋对象”的句型，例如用镊子拔眉毛、夹出刺。这个词形式上通常是复数，不能因为只有一把就改成单数；说具体数量时仍可说“一把镊子”。plural plural-onlyShe used tweezers to remove the splinter from her finger.她用镊子把手指里的木刺夹了出来。Use tweezers to pick up the tiny stamp.用镊子夹起那张小邮票。
🌳 词源
源自法语表示“盒子、套子”的词，后来因形状像一对夹具而演变为今天的词。
17th century (1645–55): plural of tweeser (on the model of nippers, pincers, pliers or scissors), from obsolete tweese (“case for small instruments”) (or alternatively, alteration of plural form tweeses), aphetic form of earlier etweese (plural of etwee), from French étuis, plural of étui (“case, box, cover”) (from Old French estui (“container, prison”, noun), derivative of étuier (earlier spelling, estuier (“to shut up, guard, keep, preserve, save, enclose, place in a cover”), probably from Vulgar Latin *estudiāre (“to keep, treat with care”) or *studiāre, from Latin studēre (“to care about”).
