英文词源
cover
**cover: **[13] _Cover _comes ultimately from Latin cooperīre, a compound verb formed from the intensive prefix com- ‘completely’ and _operīre _‘cover’ (a relative of _aperīre _‘open’, from which English gets aperient). It passed into English via Old French _cuvrir _or covrir. Derivatives include _coverlet _[13] (in which the final element represents not the diminutive suffix but French _lit _‘bed’, the word being a borrowing from Anglo-Norman covrelit, literally ‘bed-cover’) and _kerchief _(literally ‘head-cover’), as in handkerchief.
=> aperient, discover
