英语词汇apricate的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	apricate
词源	apricate v. 1690s, "to bask in the sun," from Latin apricatus, past participle of apricari "to bask in the sun," from apricus "exposed" (to the sun; the antonym of opacus "shady"). This is perhaps contracted from apericus, a derivative of aperire "to open" (see overt). The transitive sense is recorded from 1851. Related: Aprication. Entries linking to apricate* overt adj. early 14c., "open; unfastened" (originally literal, of clothing, a book, etc.; this sense is now obsolete), from Old French overt (Modern French ouvert), past participle of ovrir "to open," from Latin aperire "to open, uncover," from PIE compound ap-wer-yo- from ap- "off, away" (see apo-) + root wer- (4) "to cover." Compare Latin operire "to cover," from the same root with PIE prefix op- "over;" and Lithuanian atverti "open," užverti "shut." The meaning "clear, open or plain to view, manifest, revealed" is from late 14c. updated on September 24, 2022
