invite
英 [ɪnˈvaɪt]
美 [ɪnˈvaɪt]
将“invite”拆分成“in”和“vite”。想象“in”代表进入,而“vite”可以看作是“vite”这个词音(类似“vee”的发音),这样组合在一起可以想象成邀请某人“进入”某个活动或场合。通过这个情景来记忆“invite”这个单词。

invite: [16] Invite comes from Latin invitāre, probably by way of French inviter, but there our certain knowledge of its ancestry ends; for the Latin verb is something of a mystery word. No one is too sure where the element -vitāre comes from. One suggestion is that it is related to Greek hiesthai ‘be desirous of’.
