英语词汇hypothecate, hypothesize的意思、翻译、用法及例句-英语用法大全

词组	hypothecate, hypothesize
释义	hypothecate, hypothesize Einstein 1985 admits that in his head hypothecate and hypothesize mean essentially the same thing and that his ear prefers hypothecate. He then bemoans the fact that they mean different things—as you will be told they do if you listen to Shaw 1987 or Bernstein 1962 or Fowler 1926, or if you look in an old dictionary. But if you look in Webster's Third you will find two verbs spelled hypothecate with different derivations. The newer one (dating from 1906) does mean "hypothesize." The newer one can also be found in the OED Supplement, which, however, does not accord it a separate entry. Neither verb hypothecate is often used, and the two appear not only in different contexts but in different sources. The older hypothecate, which has to do with pledging something for security, appears in business and legal contexts. The newer hypothecate, meaning "hypothesize," seems to be found most often in scientific writing and in linguistics, and only occasionally elsewhere—the OED Supplement has a letter of Ezra Pound's and we have an example from a high-school text on art history. So, Mr. Einstein and others can feel free to use the word their ear prefers. Many more writers use hypothesize; in our files it is more than twice as common as both verbs hypothecate put together.
