to borrow from my books surcease of sorrow —E. A. Poe
15世纪初,“停止行动,停止”来自盎格鲁-法语 surseser,古法语 sursis, surseoir 的过去分词“节制,延迟”,源自拉丁语 supersedere “克制,停止或停止”(见 supersede)。英语拼写 -c- 受到了无关动词 cease 的影响。自1580年代起作为名词使用。
Verb Middle English sursesen, surcesen, from Anglo-French surceser, alteration of surseer, surseoir, from Latin supersedēre — more at supersede
