英语词汇surround的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	surround
词源	surround. Surround derives not from round, but from the Latin unda, “a wave.” Unda yielded the Latin undare, “to move in waves,” which produced superundare, “to overflow.” Supe- rundare yielded the Medieval French suronder, “to overflow,” a word with which English speakers associated the English word round and gave it its present meaning.
