英文詞源
- persuade
- persuade: [16] The -suade element of persuade goes back to Latin suādēre ‘a(chǎn)dvise, urge’, a descendant of the same Indo-European base (*swād-) as produced English assuage [14], suave [16], and sweet. Addition of the intensive prefix per- produced persuādēre, source of English persuade; while negation of suādēre with dis- has given English dissuade [15].
=> assuage, suave, sweet - persuade (v.)
- 1510s, from Middle French persuader (14c.), from Latin persuadere "to bring over by talking," (see persuasion). Related: Persuaded; persuading.
