imitate 模仿

來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ)imitari,復(fù)制，模仿，來(lái)自PIE*aim,復(fù)制，模仿，詞源同emulate,image.

imitate: imitate: [16] Latin imitāri meant ‘make a copy of’. It was formed from the base *im-, which also lies behind the Latin ancestors of English emulate [16] and image; all three words share the basic meaning element ‘likeness’. English acquired the word via the Latin past participle imitātus.
=> emulate, image
imitate (v.): 1530s, a back-formation from imitation or imitator, or else from Latin imitatus. Related: Imitated; imitating. An Old English word for this was ?fterhyrigan.
