attack 改擊

來自意大利短語attaccare battaglia, 即參與戰(zhàn)斗。與attach 屬對詞。

attack: attack: [16] Attack reached English via French attaquer from Italian attaccare ‘a(chǎn)ttach, join’, which, like Old French atachier (source of English attach) was based on a hypothetical Germanic *stakōn (from which English gets stake). Phrases such as attaccare battaglia ‘join battle’ led to attaccare being used on its own to mean ‘a(chǎn)ttack’. Attach and attack are thus ‘doublets’ – that is, words with the same ultimate derivation but different meanings.
=> attach, stake
attack (v.): c. 1600, from French attaquer (16c.), from Florentine Italian attaccare (battaglia) "join (battle)," thus the word is a doublet of attach, which was used 15c.-17c. also in the sense now reserved to attack. Related: Attacked; attacking.
attack (n.): 1660s, from attack (v.). Compare Middle English attach "a seizure or attack" (of fever), late 14c.
