中英词源
来自古法语,而法语又来自通俗拉丁语,来自 a-(同 ad-,去,往)+ bat-(与 beat 同源,打、击)+ -e(后缀,无实意)→ 字面意思就是“将其打压下去”,故引申为“减轻、减弱、减少”。同源词:beat(打击、跳动),batter(连续猛击、持续打击)。- abate (v.)
- c. 1300, "put an end to;" early 14c., "to grow less, diminish in power or influence," from Old French abattre "beat down, cast down," from Vulgar Latin *abbatere, from Latin ad "to" (see ad-) + battuere "to beat" (see batter (v.)). Secondary sense of "to fell, slaughter" is in abatis and abattoir. Related: Abated; abating.
