[refuge 词源字典]
- refuge: [14] A refuge is etymologically a place one ‘flees’ to in order to get away from danger. The word comes via Old French refuge from Latin refugium, a derivative of refugere. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix re- ‘away’ and fugere ‘flee’ (source of English fugitive [14] and fugue [16]). The derivative refugee [17] is an adaptation of refugié, the past participle of modern French refugier ‘take refuge’.
