obtain[obtain 词源字典]

obtain: [15] Obtain is one of the large family of English words (attain, contain, continue, tenor, etc) that come ultimately from Latin tenēre ‘hold’. In this case its source, by way of Old French obtenir, was Latin obtinēre, a compound formed with the intensive prefix ob-, which denoted both ‘get possession of’ and ‘prevail, be established’.
