Poland provide the opposition for the Scots' last warm-up match at home.苏格兰队在国内最后一场热身赛的对手是波兰队。 provide 提供，供应，规定pro-,提前，-vid,看，词源同evident,visit.即提前看到的，有预见性的，引申词义准备，未雨绸缪，后用于指提供，供应，规定等。 provideprovide: [15] The -vide of provide goes back to Latin vidēre ‘see’ (source of English vision), which is a long way from the English verb’s main present-day meaning, ‘supply’. Its Latin ancestor prōvidēre, formed with the prefix prō- ‘before’, meant ‘foresee’ – a sense which survived into English: ‘evident and sufficient signs, whereby may be provided and foreseen the aborcement [abortion] before it comes’, Thomas Raynalde, Birth of Mankind 1545.But already in Latin it had moved on to ‘exercise foresight by making preparations’, and this formed the basis of the later ‘supply’. Other English descendants of prōvidēre include improvise, provident [15] (a close relative of prudent), provision [14], proviso [15], and purvey [13].=> improvise, provision, proviso, prudent, purvey, visionprovide (v.)early 15c., from Latin providere "look ahead, prepare, supply, act with foresight," from pro- "ahead" (see pro-) + videre "to see" (see vision). Related: Provided; providing. Earlier in same sense was purvey, which is the same word as deformed in Old French." |
