英文词源

seep (v.)
1790, variant of sipe (c. 1500), possibly from Old English sipian "to seep," from Proto-Germanic *sip- (cognates: Middle High German sifen, Dutch sijpelen "to ooze"), from PIE root *seib- "to pour out, drip, trickle" (see soap (n.)). Related: Seeped; seeping.

中文解释

1. see + pour.2. 谐音“四pour”-----四处pour----像四处外流。3. sieve ,soap => seep.4. sieve <===> sift.5. soap的本义是指“滴下、渗出的一种具有清污作用的油脂、树脂”,由于肥皂就是由这种具有清污作用的脂肪性物质制成的,所以后来就用以表示“肥皂”。6. sieve => seep.
