This is actually the original meaning of the word start, which comes from the Old English word styrtan, meaning to caper or to leap up. |

Usage Note : Start, begin, and commence all have a similar meaning, although commence is more formal and is not normally used in conversation. The meeting is ready to begin... He tore the list up and started a fresh one... The space probe commenced taking a series of photographs. Note that begin, start, and commence can all be followed by an -ing form or a noun, but only begin and start can be followed by a 'to' infinitive. start，begin和 commence 意思相近，但 commence 较正式，通常不会用在对话中，如：The meeting is ready to begin (会议就要开始了)，He tore the list up and started a fresh one (他把清单撕碎，开始另列一张)，The space probe commenced taking a series of photographs (空间探测器开始拍摄一系列照片)。要注意，begin，start 和 commence 后面都可以跟 -ing 形式或名词，但只有 begin 和 start 后面才能跟带 to 的不定式。 7 [VERB 动词]惊起；吓一跳；激灵 If you start, your body suddenly moves slightly as a result of surprise or fear.
