词源
- employ雇用em-, 进入,使。-ploy, 编织,卷入,词源同deploy, imply, implicate.即成为其中的一份子。
- employ雇佣(人);用,使用(物)来源于拉丁语中由前缀in-(内)和基本动词plicare(折叠,卷绕)组成的复合动词implicare(笼罩,卷入),进入古法语为emplier(在英语中为imply);emplier在古法语中产生了变体empleier和后来的emploier,其意义也逐步由“笼罩,卷入”变化为“卷入或应用于一个特别的目的”,基于此意义英语获得词汇employ。 词根词缀: em-向内 + -ploy(= -plic-)折叠
