| 词源 | derelict. Deriving from the Latin derelictus, “to forsake wholly, abandon,” derelict at first meant any piece of property abandoned by its owner, being first recorded in 1649. Within 10 years, however, the word was applied to abandoned ships and it came to be used mainly in this sense over the years. |
