助記提示
1. The notion underlying escort is of 'guidance', of 'showing the right path'.
2. ex- => es- + (correct => corrig- => corg- => cort-) => escort.
3. 詞源上這個詞和correct同源，但引申較多，在此用聯想。es前綴“外邊”，cort看成cart（二輪運貨馬車），字面義“在馬車外”。古時護鏢人跟隨馬車一路前行，又有關云長千里走單騎護送兄妻，也是一路走在馬車外邊。
中文詞源
escort 護送來自拉丁文*excorrigere, 引導，護送，來自詞根rig, 豎立，堅直，詞源同right, erect. 原為軍事術語。
英文詞源
- escort
- escort: [16] The notion underlying escort is of ‘guidance’, of ‘showing the right path’. The word comes via French from Italian scorta ‘guide’, a noun use of the past participle of scorgere ‘show, guide’. This in turn came from Vulgar Latin *excorrigere, a compound verb formed from the prefix ex- ‘out’ and Latin corrigere ‘put right’ (source of English correct).
=> correct - escort (n.)
- 1570s, in military sense, from Middle French escorte (16c.), from Italian scorta, literally "a guiding," from scorgere "to guide," from Vulgar Latin *excorrigere, from ex- "out" (see ex-) + Latin corrigere "set right" (see correct (v.)). The sense of "person accompanying another to a social occasion" is 1936.
- escort (v.)
- 1708, originally military, from escort (n.), or from French escorter; social sense is from 1890. Related: Escorted; escorting.
