中文詞源
來自古法語，來自 a-（同 ad-，去，往）+ bas-（低、矮、基礎(chǔ)）+ -e（后綴，無實意）→ 顧名思義就是“拉低，使...低下，降低...的地位”。同源詞：base（基礎(chǔ)），basis（基礎(chǔ)），bass（低音歌唱家、低音樂器）。
英文詞源
- abase (v.)
- late 14c., abaishen, from Old French abaissier "diminish, make lower in value or status" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *ad bassiare "bring lower," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + Late Latin bassus "thick, fat, low" (see base (adj.)). Form in English altered 16c. by influence of base (adj.), thus the word is an exception from the rule that Old French verbs with stem -iss- enter English as -ish. Related: Abased; abasing.
