使用“视觉联想”的记忆方法:想象一棵树(“mulct”中的“mul”与“tree”的“tree”相似)被剪去了一部分(“cut”),因此它失去了部分价值,就像在法律上“mulct”表示的一种罚金或罚款。通过这样的场景联想,可以更容易地记住“mulct”的意思。

mulct (v.)
late 15c., "to punish by a fine," from Middle French mulcter "to fine, punish" (15c.), from Latin mulctare, altered (Barnhart calls it "false archaism") from multare "punish, to fine," from multa "penalty, fine," perhaps from Oscan or Samnite [Klein]. Sense of "defraud" is first recorded 1748. Related: Mulcted; mulcting.
