英文詞源
- relish
- relish: [16] Ultimately, relax [15], release [13], and relish are all the same word. They go back to Latin relaxāre ‘loosen’, a compound verb formed from the prefix re- ‘back’ and laxāre, a derivative of laxus ‘loose’ (from which English gets languish [13] and lax [14]). Relax was acquired from the Latin verb itself, while release came via Old French relaisser (the notion of ‘loosening’ having led on to ‘letting go’). Relish came from Old French relais, a noun derived from relaisser; the sense ‘taste’ came from the idea of what is ‘released’ or ‘left behind’ after the food or drink has been swallowed.
