Did You Know?

The verb purport may be more familiar nowadays, but purport exists as a noun that passed into English from Anglo-French in the 15th century as a synonym of gist. Sir Walter Scott provides us with an example from his 19th-century novel Rob Roy: "I was a good deal mortified at the purport of this letter." Anglo-French also has the verb purporter (meaning both "to carry" and "to mean"), which combines the prefix pur- ("thoroughly") and the verb porter ("to carry"). In its original English use, the verb purport meant "to signify"; the "to profess or claim" sense familiar to modern English speakers didn't appear until the 17th century.

如今,动词purport这个词现在可能大家都已经很熟悉了,但是 , 是用作为名词的用法,该名词在15世纪从盎格鲁-法国引入英语作为gist的同义词使用。沃尔特·斯科特爵士(Sir Sir Walter Scott)为我们提供了他19世纪小说罗布·罗伊(Rob Roy)的一个例子:“我对这封信的主旨感到非常羞愧。” 盎格鲁法语也有动词purporter(意思是“to carry『携带}”和“to mean『意义』”),它是由前缀pur-(“thoroughly『彻底』”)和动词 porter(“to carry”)组成。动词 purport 在最初的英语用法中意思是“to signify『表示、意义』”。直到17世纪,才出现了现代英语使用者所熟悉的“to profess or claim『声称或声明』”的感觉。
