将“devise”分解为“de”和“vice”,想象“de”是“拆解”的意思,“vice”是指“副手”或“助手”。将“拆解”一个“副手”或“助手”,形成了一种创造性的过程,就像发明或设计一样,这样可以帮助记忆“devise”的含义。

- devise (v.)
- early 13c., "to form, fashion;" c. 1300, "to plan, contrive," from Old French deviser "dispose in portions, arrange, plan, contrive" (in modern French, "to chat, gossip"), from Vulgar Latin *divisare, frequentative of Latin dividere "to divide" (see divide). Modern sense is from "to arrange a division" (especially via a will), a meaning present in the Old French word. Related: Devised; devising.
