來自拉丁語 translatus,轉(zhuǎn)變的，轉(zhuǎn)移的，來自 trans-,轉(zhuǎn)移，轉(zhuǎn)變，latus,攜帶的，承擔(dān)的，來 自*tlatus,來自 PIE*tel,支撐，承載，詞源同 relate,extol,tolerate.該拉丁詞 latus 用作另一個拉丁 詞 ferre 的過去分詞形式，因而詞根-lat 為-fer 過去分詞形式。引申詞義翻譯，轉(zhuǎn)變等。

translate

translate: [13] To translate something is etymologically to ‘carry it across’ from one language into another. The word was acquired from trānslātus, the past participle of Latin trānsferre ‘carry across, transfer, translate’ (source of English transfer).
=> extol, relate

translate (v.)

early 14c., "to remove from one place to another," also "to turn from one language to another," from Old French translater and directly from Latin translatus "carried over," serving as past participle of transferre "to bring over, carry over" (see transfer), from trans- (see trans-) + latus "borne, carried" (see oblate (n.)). Related: Translated; translating. A similar notion is behind the Old English word it replaced, awendan, from wendan "to turn, direct" (see wend).
