记忆方法
将“epilepsy”分解为“e pi le psi”。想象“e”像一个小男孩在“pi”这个大钟下跳跃（pi 像一个倒置的钟），由于他的动作（lepsi，可看作“leaps”跳跃的缩写），不小心触发了癫痫（seizure）的发作。这样的故事可以帮助你记忆这个单词的含义。

epilepsy: [16] Etymologically, epilepsy is the Greek equivalent of English seizure or attack. The word comes, via French or Latin, from Greek epilēpsíā, a derivative of epilambánein ‘seize upon’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix epí- ‘on’ and lambánein ‘take hold of’.
- epilepsy (n.)
- 1570s, from Middle French epilepsie (16c.), from Late Latin epilepsia, from Greek epilepsis "epilepsy," literally "a seizure," from epilambanein "to lay hold of, seize upon, attack," especially of diseases, but also of events, armies, etc., from epi "upon" (see epi-) + lepsis "seizure," from leps-, future stem of lambanein "take hold of, grasp" (see analemma). Earlier was epilencie (late 14c.), from Middle French epilence, a variant form influenced by pestilence. The native name in English was falling sickness.
