GRE
1、pall- "cloak, coverlet, covering" => pall.
2、该词的第二层含义：shortened form of appall, 也就是由appall缩略而来。
pall 厌倦，厌烦缩写自appall,震惊，害怕，来自ap-,向，-pall,苍白，惨白，词源同pale,pallor.引申词义厌恶，厌倦，厌烦。
- pall (n.)
- Old English pæll "rich cloth or cloak, purple robe, altar cloth," from Latin pallium "cloak, coverlet, covering," in Tertullian, the garment worn by Christians instead of the Roman toga; related to pallo "robe, cloak," palla "long upper garment of Roman women," perhaps from the root of pellis "skin." Notion of "cloth spread over a coffin" (mid-15c.) led to figurative sense of "dark, gloomy mood" (1742).
- pall (v.)
- "become tiresome," 1700, from Middle English pallen "to become faint, fail in strength" (late 14c.), shortened form of appallen "to dismay, fill with horror or disgust" (see appall). Related: Palled; palling.
