漢：來源于拉丁語的multus,意為“many,much”。沒有用來專門指具體數(shù)量的，亦可以當(dāng)詞根講。前綴muiti- 相應(yīng)的希臘語前綴為：poly- / pleio- 多

英：before vowels mult-, word-forming element meaning "many, many times, much," from comb. form of L. multus "much, many," from PIE *ml-to-, from root *mel- "strong, great, numerous" (cf. L. melior "better," Gk. mala "very, very much"). Many words that use it (multinational, etc.) are 20c. coinages.
