语源 (Etymology)
- Origin:
From Middle English "resignacioun" → Old French "resignation" → Latin "resignationem" (nom. "resignatio"), meaning "a giving up, relinquishing." The root "resignare" in Latin combines "re-" (back) + "signare" (to sign), literally "to unsign" or "cancel a seal," evolving to "renounce a position."
中文翻译: 起源于中古英语"resignacioun",源自古法语"resignation"和拉丁语"resignationem",意为“放弃、 relinquishing”。词根"resignare"由拉丁语"re-"(回)和"signare"(签名)组成,字面意为“取消签名”,后演变为“放弃职位”。 - Historical Shift:
14th century: Initially referred to "renouncing a legal or official right" → Modern: Primarily denotes "formally quitting a job or position," with secondary meanings of "passive acceptance of an inevitable situation."
中文翻译: 14世纪初指“放弃法律或官方权利”,现代主要指“正式辞去工作或职位”,次要含义为“对不可避免情况的被动接受”。
