助記提示

1. repose (v.1): re- "intensive prefix" + pos- (paus-) + -e. => cause to rest, lie at rest, lie to rest.
2. repose (v.2): re- "intensive prefix" + pos- + -e. => put, place.
3. re-: Latin combining form conceivably from Indo-European *wret-, metathetical variant of *wert- "turn".
4. 由re-前綴的詞源信息可以感覺(jué)到，re-前綴的“intensive prefix”含義更有可能是傾向于表示：turn to, turn toward, cause to.

英文詞源

repose: repose: Repose ‘rest’ [15] and repose ‘place’ [15] (as in ‘repose confidence in someone’) are distinct words in English. The former comes via Old French reposer from late Latin repausāre, a compound verb based on pausāre ‘rest’ (source of English pause). The latter was an English coinage, formed from the prefix re- and the verb pose ‘place’. It was modelled on Latin repōnere ‘replace’, whose derivative repositorium has given English repository [15].
=> pause; position, repository
repose (v.1): "lie at rest," mid-15c., from Middle French reposer, from Old French repauser (10c.), from Late Latin repausare "cause to rest," from Latin re-, here probably an intensive prefix (see re-), + Late Latin pausare "to stop" (see pause (v.)). Related: Reposed; reposing.
repose (v.2): "put, place," mid-15c., from Latin repos-, stem of reponere "put back, set back, replace, restore; put away, lay out, stretch out," from re- "back, away" (see re-) + ponere "to put, place" (past participle positus; see position (n.)). Or perhaps [Klein] formed in Middle English from Old French poser, on model of disposen "dispose."
repose (n.): "rest," c. 1500, from Middle French repos (11c.), back-formation from reposer (see repose (v.1)).
