英文词源
- escort
- escort: [16] The notion underlying escort is of ‘guidance’, of ‘showing the right path’. The word comes via French from Italian scorta ‘guide’, a noun use of the past participle of scorgere ‘show, guide’. This in turn came from Vulgar Latin *excorrigere, a compound verb formed from the prefix ex- ‘out’ and Latin corrigere ‘put right’ (source of English correct).
=> correct - escort (n.)
- 1570s, in military sense, from Middle French escorte (16c.), from Italian scorta, literally "a guiding," from scorgere "to guide," from Vulgar Latin *excorrigere, from ex- "out" (see ex-) + Latin corrigere "set right" (see correct (v.)). The sense of "person accompanying another to a social occasion" is 1936.
- escort (v.)
- 1708, originally military, from escort (n.), or from French escorter; social sense is from 1890. Related: Escorted; escorting.
中文解释
1. The notion underlying escort is of 'guidance', of 'showing the right path'.2. ex- => es- + (correct => corrig- => corg- => cort-) => escort.3. 词源上这个词和correct同源，但引申较多，在此用联想。es前缀“外边”，cort看成cart（二轮运货马车），字面义“在马车外”。古时护镖人跟随马车一路前行，又有关云长千里走单骑护送兄妻，也是一路走在马车外边。实用例句
