1610年代,“超过重量”,源自拉丁文 praeponderatus,是 praeponderare 的过去分词,意为“超重,使更重”,由 prae “之前”(参见 pre-)和 ponderare “称重”组成,由 pondus “重量”组成,其词干来源于 pendere “悬挂,使悬挂; 称量”(来自 PIE 词根 *(s)pen- “拉,伸展,旋转”)。
及物动词的意思源于17世纪。意为“在力量或权力方面超过”始于1799年。在17世纪,英语中有一个动词 preponder,“在重要性方面超过”,但似乎已经消失了。相关词汇: Preponderating; preponderation。
Verb Latin praeponderatus, past participle of praeponderare, from prae- + ponder-, pondus weight — more at pendant
