英文詞源
- except
- except: [14] If you except something, you literally ‘take it out’. The verb comes from exceptus, the past participle of Latin excipere, a compound formed from the prefix ex- ‘out’ and capere ‘take’ (source of English capture). The use of the word as a preposition, and subsequently as a conjunction, arose from the adjectival use of the Latin past participle exceptus for ‘excepted, excluded’ (as in modern English ‘present company excepted’).
=> captive, capture, chase, heave - except (v.)
- late 14c., "to receive," from Middle French excepter (12c.), from Latin exceptus, past participle of excipere "to take out, withdraw; make an exception, reserve," from ex- "out" (see ex-) + capere "to take" (see capable). Meaning "to leave out" is from 1510s. Related: Excepted; excepting. Adjectival function led to use as a preposition, conjunction (late 14c.).
