Question

calibrate vt.校准；测定口径；使标准化 (1) 我的表走快了,我得把它校准。(2) 你无需校准运动传感器。(3) 这种温度计是用摄氏百分度标定的。 To find the origin of calibrate, we must look at its root, caliber, which appeared in the late 15th Century Middle French as calibre, meaning "a degree of importance." Linguists trace that word to an Arabic beginning, the word qalib, which referred to a mold for making bullets. That meaning seems to have carried over to our word, the verb calibrate, which first meant to measure the range of a projectile such as a bullet or shell.
