| 词源 | focus. In Latin the word focus means fireplace or hearth. The word was probably first employed outside of its Latin literal use as “the burning point of a lens or mirror,” in optics, and then came to mean any central point. The German astronomer Jo- hannes Kepler first recorded the word in this sense in 1604. |
