词汇 | pore over |
词源 | pore over. People often write pour over when they mean to think deeply about something or study something carefully, but the correct term is pore over. Pore means to read or study with steady attention, to gaze steadily, to ponder intently. Ety- mologists have only been able to trace the word back to the Middle English pouren, the same word that is the basis for pour, so the difference between the two words is something of a mystery. |
