AI 生成 · 仅供参考
将“atone”拆分为“a”和“tone”。想象你想要“调整”或“校正”自己的声音(tone),以便表达懊悔或歉意(“a”在这里代表做某事),这样就记住了“atone”意为“赎罪”或“弥补过失”。

英语词源

atone
atone: [16] As its spelling suggests, but its pronunciation disguises, atone comes from the phrase at one ‘united, in harmony’, lexicalized as atone in early modern English. It may have been modelled on Latin adūnāre ‘unite’, which was similarly compounded from ad ‘to, at’ and ūnum ‘one’.
=> at, one
atone (v.)
1550s, from adverbial phrase atonen (c. 1300) "in accord," literally "at one," a contraction of at and one. It retains the older pronunciation of one. The phrase perhaps is modeled on Latin adunare "unite," from ad- "to, at" (see ad-) + unum "one." Related: Atoned; atoning.
