violate [violate 词源字典]: violate: [15] Latin violāre ‘treat with violence’ was derived from the noun vīs ‘force, energy’ (whose accusative form, vim, is probably the source of English vim [19]). Its past participle gave English violate, while its present participle is ultimately responsible for English violent [14].
