单词 correspond
释义

correspondv.

/kɒrɪˈspɒnd/
Etymology: < medieval Latin correspondēre, < cor- = com- together, with each other + respondēre to answer; compare French correspondre (14th cent. in Littré), Italian corrispondere, Spanish corresponder. The etymology implies that the word was formed to express mutual response, the answering of things to each other; but before its adoption in English, it had been extended so as to express the action or relation of one side only, without however abandoning the mutual notion, which is distinct in the modern sense of epistolary correspondence.
1. intransitive. To answer to something else in respect of fitness; to agree with; to be agreeable or conformable to; to be congruous or in harmony with.
