字源 frequent (adj.)
mid-15c., "ample, profuse," from Middle French frequent, or directly from Latin frequentem (nominative frequens) "crowded, repeated," of uncertain origin. Meaning "common, usual" is from 1530s; that of "happening at short intervals, often recurring" is from c.1600.
frequent (v.)
late 15c., from Middle French frequenter, from Latin frequentare "visit regularly," from frequentem (see frequent (adj.)). Related: Frequented; frequenting.
不择手段背单词 v. 时常频繁的来访; adj 惯常的; 间歇很短的
【反】visit rarely(很少拜访); shun『avoid』有争议: shun侧重故意避开危险、真理、社交等 = avoid deliberately; avoid可指避开任何东西, 人, 事. 它们的区别就在于deliberately, 但是没有字典指出frequent是否有故意的含义. 但是我会选avoid, 有例句表明avoid可以用来避免一个地方. (仅供参考)
