ostensible词源中文解释

1730年,“能够被展示的,可以被展示或看到的,可呈现的”,源自法语 ostensible,源自拉丁语 ostens-, 过去分词词干 ostendere “展示,暴露于视野之中; 伸展,展开; 展览,展示”,来自于 ob “在前面”(见 ob-)和 tendere “伸展”(来自于 PIE 词根 *ten- “伸展”)。意思是“表面上的,公开的,被认为是真实的”,始于1771年。

Ostensible is, literally, that may be or is held out as true, real, actual, or intended, but may or may not be so: thus, a person's ostensible motive for some action is the motive that appears to the observer, and is held out to him as the real motive, which it may or may not be. [Century Dictionary, 1895]
Ostensible 字面上意思是可能或被认为是真实、实际或有意图的,但可能也不是:因此,一个人某个行动的 ostensible 动机是出现在观察者面前的动机,并被认为是真正的动机,但它可能是也可能不是。[世纪词典,1895]
