Did You Know?

The letter sequence “v-e-r-b” in reverberate might make you think at first of such word-related brethren as proverb, verbal, and verbose, all of which derive from the Latin noun verbum, meaning “word.” In fact, reverberate comes from a much different source: the Latin verb verberare, meaning “to whip, beat, or lash,” which is related to the noun verber, meaning “rod.” Reverberate entered the English language in the 15th century, and one of its early meaning was “to beat, drive, or cast back.” By the early 1600s, it began to appear in contexts associated with sound that repeats or returns the way an echo does.

词源词根演化：
verber (n. “rod”) —> verberare (v. “to whip”) —> reverberate (v.)
verbum (n. “word”) —> proverb / verbal / verbose

单词reverberate中的“v-e-r-b”字母组合可能会让你第一时间想起几个与word相关的几个词，例如proverb, verbal和verbose，所有这些词都衍生自拉丁名词verbum。事实上，reverberate的来源相当不同：它来自于拉丁动词verberare，意思是“鞭打，敲打，或鞭策”，还与名词verber（“棍棒”）有关。reverberate在15世纪进入英语世界，早期的一个意思是“敲打，驱使，或回溯”。在1600s早期，这个词开始在某些语境中与声音有关，表示重复的回声或者折返的回声。

注：brethren：【古】同胞，同党，同会
