forbear 克制for-, 完全的。bear,克制。
forbear 克制,忍耐这里的-bear部分不是熊,而是忍耐;承担之意,前缀for-这里表away, opposite, completely,因此forbear就是to bear up(振作)one's feeling。类似,forgive原谅是to give up completely,forget忘记是to get(grasp in mind) away。bear and forbear一忍再忍。
- forbear (v.)
- "to abstain," Old English forberan "bear up against, control one's feelings, abstain from, refrain; tolerate, endure" (past tense forbær, past participle forboren), from for- + beran "to bear" (see bear (v.)). Related: Forbearer; forbearing; forbore. Of similar formation are Old High German ferberen, Gothic frabairan "to endure."
