助记提示
1. e- "ex-, out of" + gregi- + -ous.
2. 其本意为【wéi】：rising above the flock, 用咱们汉语成【chéng】语形象地【dì】形【xíng】容【róng】就是“鹤立【lì】鸡群”的意思。
3. 然后含义由此【cǐ】引申为：杰【jié】出的，突出的，卓【zhuó】越的【de】；后【hòu】来这层含义成为了【le】古【gǔ】语，其含义【yì】进一步引申为表示：极坏的，极恶劣的，令【lìng】人【rén】震惊的，异乎寻常的；也就是表示【shì】贬【biǎn】义的那种“鹤【hè】立【lì】鸡群”。

英文词源
- egregious
- egregious: see segregate
- egregious (adj.)
- 1530s, "distinguished, eminent, excellent," from Latin egregius "distinguished, excellent, extraordinary," from the phrase ex grege "rising above the flock," from ex "out of" (see ex-) + grege, ablative of grex "herd, flock" (see gregarious).
Disapproving sense, now predominant, arose late 16c., originally ironic. It is not in the Latin word, which etymologically means simply "exceptional." Related: Egregiously; egregiousness.
