英语中“宇宙”为universe,大学为“university",两者有何关系?

综合性大学像宇宙一样包罗万象吧~
university,英文词根是universus,意味着宇宙性,普遍性、普适性、世界性。大学嘛,宇宙人民学习的地方呵。
从词的构造来讲 没有什么关系
We know that "uni-" means "one." Now let us consider that "-verse" and "-versity" and other such endings may come from the Latin "veritas" meaning truth. A university is a place for students to seek truth and the universe could be viewed as the one truth we have in life.
Also the word university comes from the Latin "universitas," roughly meaning "community." A university is one community of students and the universe is one community of, well, everything in the universe.
没有关系,但是词源上是有关系的.universe不仅有宇宙的关系,还有“普遍” “所有”的概念在里面,最初大学建立的初衷就是为了让学生们可以得到非常全面的教育而设立的(和现在的大学不一样,如今侧重专业学习).所以说university和universe的词干是想通的.
没有关系 就像list last 两者意思没有相关之处
