repertory[repertory 词源字典]

repertory: [16] A repertory is etymologically a list of things ‘found’. The word was adopted from late Latin repertōrium, a derivative of reperīre ‘find out’. This was formed from the base *per- ‘attempt’, which has also given English experience, expert, peril, pirate, etc. The sense ‘list of plays, pieces of music, etc performed’ was introduced from French in the 19th century, along with the French form repertoire.
