procrustean
[prəu'krʌstiən]
助记提示
1、pro- + crust-(Greek krouein "strike") => procrust- "beat out, strike out, stretch out".
2、procrust- + -es => Procrustes: the name meaning "one who stretches".
3、procrust- + -ean.
4、普罗克汝斯忒斯(Procrustes)是希腊神话中虚构的一个强盗，他抓住过往的游客，然后将其绑在自己的床上，然后拉伸他们的四肢，或者锯掉他们的腿，以使其跟自己的床刚好合适；由此该词的含义被引申为：violently making conformable to standard.
