记忆方法
1、sick 的来历至今查不清(the ultimate origins of sick are a mystery)，所以别硬讲来历，直接背用法三档：be sick(英式常指吐了)、sick of sth(受够了)、take sick(病倒)。
2、有个好斗的 sick 是另一个词：sick him! 是放狗咬他，它其实是 seek 的方言变体，别和"生病"这个 sick 认亲。
3、派生词顺带带走：sicken 使生病、sickly 多病的、the sick 指病人这一群体(加 the 表一类人)。拼写注意 sickle(镰刀)、session 里的 sic- 只是字母巧合，不同源。

sick: [OE] The ultimate origins of sick are a mystery. It has been traced back to a hypothetical prehistoric Germanic *seukaz, but beyond that nothing certain is known. Its modern relatives are German siech, Dutch ziek, Swedish sjuk, and Danish syg.
- sick (v.)
- "to chase, set upon" (as in command sick him!), 1845, dialectal variant of seek. Used as an imperative to incite a dog to attack a person or animal; hence "cause to pursue." Related: Sicked; sicking.
- sick (adj.)
- "unwell," Old English seoc "ill, diseased, feeble, weak; corrupt; sad, troubled, deeply affected," from Proto-Germanic *seukaz, of uncertain origin. The general Germanic word (Old Norse sjukr, Danish syg, Old Saxon siok, Old Frisian siak, Middle Dutch siec, Dutch ziek, Old High German sioh, Gothic siuks "sick, ill"), but in German and Dutch displaced by krank "weak, slim," probably originally with a sense of "twisted, bent" (see crank (n.)).
Restricted meaning "having an inclination to vomit, affected with nausea" is from 1610s; sense of "tired or weary (of something), disgusted from satiety" is from 1590s; phrase sick and tired of is attested from 1783. Meaning "mentally twisted" in modern colloquial use is from 1955, a revival of the word in this sense from 1550s (sense of "spiritually or morally corrupt" was in Old English, which also had seocmod "infirm of mind"); sick joke is from 1958. - sick (n.)
- "those who are sick," Old English seoce, from sick (adj).
