詞態變化
中文詞源
來自拉丁詞carcer拼寫變體。原指監獄,圍欄,后指組成圍欄的斜柵,形如字母X,因而引申詞義刪除。見incarcerate,最終來自PIE *sker, 圍,彎,詞源同ring, curve.
英文詞源
- cancel
- cancel: see chancellor
- cancel (v.)
- late 14c., "cross out with lines," from Anglo-French canceler, from Latin cancellare "to make resemble a lattice," which in Late Latin took on a sense "cross out something written" by marking it with crossed lines, from cancelli, plural of cancellus "lattice, grating," diminutive of cancer "crossed bars, lattice," a variant of carcer "prison" (see incarceration). Figurative use, "to nullify an obligation" is from mid-15c. Related: Canceled (also cancelled); cancelling.
