英文词源

continence (n.): late 14c., "self-restraint," from Old French continence (14c.), from Latin continentia "a holding back, repression," from continent-, present participle stem of continere (see continent). Especially of sexual desire from late 14c.; of the body's eliminatory functions, from 1915. Related: Continency.

中文解释

1. con- "together" + tin- + -ence.2. => hold together, keep together, enclose.3. 由此得出两种引申义：一、既然是握在一起的，那么就引申为“连续的，衔接在一起的”；二、既然被圈在一起、禁锢在一起，那么就引申义“节制、克制”。4. 这里取第二种引申义。
