accept
/əkˈsept/·억셉트·verb
接受
LatinCEFR A2
词根
ac- (to, toward) + Latin 'capere' (to take)
Latin acceptare (take willingly) → Middle French accepter → English accept
一句话
ac(向…) + cept(拿) = '拿到自己这边'. cept 家族按"怎么拿"分单词 — ac-(向自己) → accept、con-(同) → concept、ex-(向外) → except、re-(再) → receive。 不是英雄式的"夺取",而是平静地"接到手里"。
