| 红宝书 | 【英】 v. 把…浸入水中(to plunge or thrust suddenly into liquid) 【考】 反义词：ignite(点燃 ) 【例】 to douse the car with a hose |
| 字源 | douse (v.) 1550s, "to strike, punch," which is perhaps from Middle Dutch dossen "beat forcefully" or a similar Low German word. Meaning "to strike a sail in haste" is recorded from 1620s; that of "to extinguish (a light)" is from 1785; perhaps influenced by dout (1520s), an obsolete contraction of do out (compare doff, don). OED regards the meaning "to plunge into water, to throw water over" (c.1600) as a separate word, of unknown origin, though admitting there may be a connection of some sort. Related: Doused; dousing. |
