| 词汇 | dine |
| 词源 | dine. Meaning to eat, possibly to eat well or to eat “seriously” (not to eat a sandwich, for example), to dine originally meant “to eat dinner, the principal meal of the day.” In this respect the word is a contradiction, deriving as it does from the Latin disj- unare, “to breakfast, to eat the first meal of the day.” |
