记忆“governor”这个单词,可以将它分解为“gov”和“ernor”。想象一个“ governor”就像是政府(gov)的“主人”(ernor),即在政府中拥有主导权或管理职责的人。这种方法将“gov”联想到政府,而“ernor”则强调其主宰地位,从而帮助记忆。

- c. 1300, gouernour, "personal keeper, protector, guide;" late 14c., "one who governs, a ruler," from Old French governeor "prince, ruler, administrator; helmsman" (11c., Modern French gouverneur) and directly from Latin gubernatorem (nominative gubernator) "director, ruler, governor," originally "steersman, pilot" (see govern). Meaning "subordinate ruler; head of a province, etc." is from late 14c. Meaning "one charged with direction or control of an institution, etc." is from late 14c. Mechanical sense of "self-acting regulator" is from 1819. The adjective gubernatorial remembers the Latin form. There is a record of English governator from 1520s.
