1、purpose 和 propose(提议、求婚)、pose(摆出; pose 问题)、position(位置)本是同一个拉丁词 prōpōnere"放到前面":把想法摆到前面叫 propose,摆在心里的目标就叫 purpose。
2、pur- 是 pro-"向前"的法语变脸,别当成 pure(纯净)那半截拼错。on purpose(故意地)是必背搭配。
3、"目标"辨析:aim 从"靶子"来、具体而偏短期;goal 是要奋斗到的终点;purpose 既指心中所想也指行动的决心,For what purpose do you learn English? 是例句常客。

英语词源

purpose
purpose: [13] Purpose, propose [14], and propound [16] are ultimately the same word. All go back to Latin prōpōnere ‘put forward, declare’, a compound verb formed from the prefix prō- ‘forward’ and pōnere ‘place’ (source of English pose, position, etc). Its past participle prōpositus was the source of two distinct Old French verbs: the minimally altered proposer, source of English propose; and purposer, which contains the Old French descendant of the Latin prefix prō-, source of English purpose. Propound is an alteration of an earlier propone (source of proponent [16]), which was based directly on prōpōnere.
=> pose, position, propose, proponent, propound
purpose (n.)
c. 1300, "intention, aim, goal," from Anglo-French purpos, Old French porpos "aim, intention" (12c.), from porposer "to put forth," from por- "forth" (from Latin pro- "forth;" see pur-) + Old French poser "to put, place" (see pose (v.1)). On purpose "by design" is attested from 1580s; earlier of purpose (early 15c.).
purpose (v.)
late 14c., from Anglo-French purposer "to design," Old French porposer "to intend, propose," variant of proposer (see propose).
