词根拆分
词根派生直接来自拉丁语 montāre,"向上爬"。"登到某物之上"这一个核心意象向外辐射:爬到马上、把东西安到墙上(mount a picture 装裱画)、部署并发动一项计划(mount an attack 发起进攻)、向上升(tension mounts 情绪高涨)。作名词时绕回原始的"山"或你骑上去的"坐骑"。
词根 mount 还连着 9 个词为什么是这个意思
mount 把拉丁语 montāre 那个"攀爬"的字面意象带进了每一个义项。无论是 mount a horse(上马)、mount a shelf(装架子)、mount a defense(组织防御),还是看着成本 mount(攀升),你做的永远是"把某物往上带"——带到表面上、带入行动中,或带向更高的数量。正是这个"向上"的动作把它分散的现代含义串了起来。
