英语词汇barrage的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	barrage
词源	barrage. A barrage of artillery is strictly speaking a “barrier,” the word deriving from the French barre. One can see the logic of this when considering that strategically an artillery barrage is meant primarily to be not an assault but a barrier to any ene- my activity. The word in its military sense is first recorded dur- ing “the war to end all wars,” in 1917.
