词汇 rebate
词源
rebate. A merchant who makes a rebate gives back part of the buyer’s money. But rebate has taken a long, circuitous route to the meaning it has today. Once a sporting term, from fal- conry of all things, rebate meant “to bring back a bating hawk,” that is, a hawk that has left its perch without being commanded to do so.
