defunct[defunct 词源字典]

defunct: [16] The -funct in defunct is the same ultimately as that in function and perfunctory. It comes from the past participle of Latin fungī ‘perform, discharge’. In combination with the intensive prefix dē- this produced dēfunctus ‘discharged, finished’, hence ‘dead’, which was borrowed directly into English.
