abate
英 [?'be?t]||||||美 [?'bet]
來自古法語，而法語又來自通俗拉丁語，來自 a-（同 ad-，去，往）+ bat-（與 beat 同源，打、擊）+ -e（后綴，無實意）→ 字面意思就是“將其打壓下去”，故引申為“減輕、減弱、減少”。同源詞：beat（打擊、跳動），batter（連續猛擊、持續打擊）。
- abate (v.)
- c. 1300, "put an end to;" early 14c., "to grow less, diminish in power or influence," from Old French abattre "beat down, cast down," from Vulgar Latin *abbatere, from Latin ad "to" (see ad-) + battuere "to beat" (see batter (v.)). Secondary sense of "to fell, slaughter" is in abatis and abattoir. Related: Abated; abating.
