英文词源

abolish (v.)

mid-15c., from Middle French aboliss-, present participle stem of abolir \"to abolish\" (15c.), from Latin abolere \"destroy, cause to die out, retard the growth of,\" perhaps from ab- \"from\" (see ab-) + adolere \"to grow,\" from PIE *ol-eye-, causative of root *al- (3) \"to grow, nourish\" (see old), and perhaps formed as an antonym to adolere. But the Latin word rather could be from a root in common with Greek ollymi, apollymi \"destroy.\" Tucker writes that there has been a confusion of forms in Latin, based on similar roots, one meaning \"to grow,\" the other \"to destroy.\" Application to persons and concrete objects has long been obsolete.
