forbear 中文词源

forbear 克制

for-, 完全的。bear,克制。

forbear 克制，忍耐

这里的-bear部分不是熊，而是忍耐；承担之意，前缀for-这里表away, opposite, completely，因此forbear就是to bear up（振作）one's feeling。类似，forgive原谅是to give up completely，forget忘记是to get(grasp in mind) away。bear and forbear一忍再忍。

forbear 英文词源

forbear (v.): "to abstain," Old English forberan "bear up against, control one's feelings, abstain from, refrain; tolerate, endure" (past tense forbær, past participle forboren), from for- + beran "to bear" (see bear (v.)). Related: Forbearer; forbearing; forbore. Of similar formation are Old High German ferberen, Gothic frabairan "to endure."
