英文詞源
- produce
- produce: [15] To produce something is etymologically to ‘lead it forward’, a meaning still discernible beneath the veil of metaphor that clothes the modern English word’s range of meanings. It comes from Latin prōdūcere, a compound verb formed from the prefix prō- ‘forward’ and dūcere ‘lead’ (source of English duct, duke, educate, introduce, etc).
=> duct, duke, educate, induce, introduce - produce (v.)
- early 15c., "develop, proceed, extend," from Latin producere "lead or bring forth, draw out," figuratively "to promote, empower; stretch out, extend," from pro- "forth" (see pro-) + ducere "to bring, lead" (see duke). Sense of "bring into being" is first recorded 1510s; that of "put (a play) on stage" is from 1580s. Related: Produced; producing.
- produce (n.)
- "thing or things produced," 1690s, from produce (v.), and originally accented like it. Specific sense of "agricultural productions" (as distinguished from manufactured goods) is from 1745.
