源自goose + summer， 这个季节蛛丝较多；鹅毛也到处漂，轻而薄
来自goose summer食鹅时节， 此时节蛛丝飞扬，所以有 gossamer一词GRE难词记忆gossamer→gross n.总量+same a.相同的→总量相同的蛛丝来自goose summer食鹅时节，此时节蛛丝飞扬，所以有gossamer一词近义词 web网fine好的tissue纸巾feather羽毛gauzy纱似的cobweb蜘蛛网sheer极轻薄的filmy似薄膜的delicate微妙的ethereal天上的flimsy轻而薄得vaporous空想的fiber纤维物质vapourous汽化的dainty小巧精致的diaphanous透明的gauze-like纱似的transparent透明的see-through透明的cobwebby似蛛网的
