词根:draw = 拉, 牵引
draw既是一个单词,也是一个词根,当作为单词讲时意思是“绘画,拉,牵引,抽取”等含义,它们有共同的核心含义“拉”。当作为词根时,意思是“拉,牵引”之意思。至于draw为何有“绘画”之意,这也不难理解,因为“绘画”就是在“拉”线条(勾画)。单词drawback由draw和back两部分构成,字面意思可以解读为“拉着你后退的东西,或者扯你后腿的东西”,故有“缺点,障碍”这种意思;withdraw由比较罕见的前缀with-(=against,back)和draw构成,字面意思为“向后拉”,引申为“撤退,收回”。注意,drawing room 不是“画室”,而是指“客厅”,源自withdrawing room,最初指“宾客用完餐后‘退回去’休息聊天的房间”。
