中英词源

continue 持续

con-, 强调。-tin, 持，握，词源同tenable, continent.

continue: continue: [14] Latin continēre in its transitive sense (with an object) meant ‘hold together, contain’, and led to English contain. However, it was also used intransitively in the sense ‘hang together’. From it was derived the adjective continuus ‘uninterrupted’ (source of English continuous [17]), which formed the basis of a new verb continuāre ‘make or be continuous’. English acquired this via Old French continuer. (The derivative continual entered English in the 14th century.)
=> contain, content, continent, countenance
continue (v.): mid-14c., contynuen, from Old French continuer (13c.), from Latin continuare "join together, connect, make or be continuous," from continuus "uninterrupted," from continere (intransitive) "to be uninterrupted," literally "to hang together" (see contain). Related: Continued; continuing.
