记忆方法
将“defray”拆分为“de-”和“fray”。想象“de-”是一个去掉的意思，而“fray”是磨损、破坏。组合起来，可以形象地记忆为“彻底报销”或“彻底消除费用”，即该词的含义是支付或承担费用以防止损失或进一步的花销。

英语词源
- defray (v.)
- 1540s, from Middle French defraier (15c.), perhaps from de- "out" (see de-) + fraier "spend," from Old French frais "costs, damages caused by breakage," from Latin fractum, neuter past participle of frangere "to break" (see fraction). Alternative etymology traces second element to Old High German fridu "peace," via Vulgar Latin *fredum "fine, cost."
