redound

• vi. 有助於；報償，報應；被轉移
• vt. 帶來

來自拉丁語 redundare,流出，來自 red-,往後，-und,水，水流，詞源同 undulate,abound.即原義 為流出，多餘，見 redundant.後前綴詞義發生變化為 red-,再，重新，-und,水，水流，即再次 流進，流入，因而引申現詞義。

redound

redound: see redundant

redound (v.)

late 14c., "to overflow," from Old French redonder "overflow, abound, be in profusion" (12c.), from Latin redundare "to overflow" (see redundant). Meaning "to flow or go back" (to a place or person) is from late 14c.; hence "to rebound" (c. 1500), and "to contribute to" (the credit, honor, etc.), early 15c. Related: Redounded; redounding.
