英文詞源
- suggest
- suggest: [16] To suggest something is etymologically to ‘carry it under’. It comes from the past participle of Latin suggerere, a compound verb formed from the suffix sub- and gerere ‘carry’ (source also of English digest, gesture, etc). Its meaning evolved via ‘heap up, build’ and ‘furnish a supply’ to ‘bring forward an idea’.
=> congest, digest, gesture - suggest (v.)
- 1520s, "place before another's mind; put forward a proposition," from Latin suggestus, past participle of suggerere "bring up, bring under, lay beneath; furnish, afford, supply; prompt" (see suggestion). Meaning "to act so as to call up the idea of (something else)" is from 1709. Related: Suggested; suggesting.
