vocabulary简明 | Cease to exist is a popular use of the word cease, or end, and you may have closed your eyes and wished that someone — the boogeyman in the dark or a pesky sibling by day — would stop! Go away! Cease to be! Or, at the very least — quit bugging you. |
vocabulary扩展 | A French word from 1300, cesser, meaning "come to an end," "go away," "give up," and "yield" is the root of cease.
