announce [announce 词源字典]: announce: see pronounce
[announce etymology, announce origin, 英语词源]
annoy: annoy: [13] Annoy comes ultimately from the Latin phrase in odiō, literally ‘in hatred’, hence ‘odious’ (odiō was the ablative sense of odium, from which English got odious [14] and odium [17]). The phrase was turned into a verb in later Latin – inodiāre ‘make loathsome’ – which transferred to Old French as anuier or anoier (in modern French this has become ennuyer, whose noun ennui was borrowed into English in the mid 18th century in the sense ‘boredom’).
=> ennui, noisome, odious
cannon: cannon: English has two different words cannon, neither of which can for certain be connected with canon. The earlier, ‘large gun’ [16], comes via French canon from Italian cannone ‘large tube’, which was a derivative of canna ‘tube, pipe’, from Latin canna (source of English cane). Cannon as in ‘cannon off something’ [19] is originally a billiards term, and was an alteration (by association with cannon the gun) of an earlier carom (the form still used in American English).

This came from Spanish carombola, a kind of fruit fancifully held to resemble a billiard ball, whose ultimate source was probably an unrecorded *karambal in the Marathi language of south central India.
=> cane; carom
