Word Origins Dictionary
- remove[remove 词源字典]
- remove: [14] The -move of remove comes from the same source as English move itself – Latin movēre ‘move’. Combination with the prefix re- ‘again, back’ produced removēre ‘move back, move away’, which reached English via Old French removeir. The Latin past participle remōtus gave English remote [15], etymologically ‘moved away to a distant place’.
