词源

First attested in c. 1540; borrowed from Latin dōtātus, perfect passive participle of Latin dōtō (“to endow, apportion”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from dōs (“dowry, gift”, oblique stem in dōt-) + -ō, from Proto-Italic *dōtis, from Proto-Indo-European *déh₃tis, from Proto-Indo-European *deh₃- (“to give”).
