英语词汇commendatory的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	commendatory
词源	commendatory adj. "commending, recommending," 1550s, from Late Latin commendatorius, from Latin commendator, from commendare "to commit to the care of; to set off, render agreeable, praise" (see commend). Commendative in the same sense is from early 15c. Entries linking to commendatory commend v. mid-14c., comenden, "praise, mention approvingly," from Latin commendare "to commit to the care or keeping (of someone), to entrust to; to commit to writing;" hence "to set off, render agreeable, praise," from com-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see com-), + mandare "to commit to one's charge" (see mandate (n.)). A doublet of command. Sense of "commit, deliver with confidence" in English is from late 14c. Meaning "bring to mind, send the greeting of" is from c. 1400. The "praise" sense is from the notion of "present as worthy of notice or regard;" also in some cases probably a shortening of recommend. Related: Commended; commending. updated on January 28, 2018
