redound

• vi. 有助于；报偿，报应；被转移
• vt. 带来

来自拉丁语 redundare,流出，来自 red-,往后，-und,水，水流，词源同 undulate,abound.即原义 为流出，多余，见 redundant.后前缀词义发生变化为 red-,再，重新，-und,水，水流，即再次 流进，流入，因而引申现词义。

redound

redound: see redundant

redound (v.)

late 14c., "to overflow," from Old French redonder "overflow, abound, be in profusion" (12c.), from Latin redundare "to overflow" (see redundant). Meaning "to flow or go back" (to a place or person) is from late 14c.; hence "to rebound" (c. 1500), and "to contribute to" (the credit, honor, etc.), early 15c. Related: Redounded; redounding.
