词源

From Middle English *withdriven, from Old English wiþdrīfan (“to repel”), from Proto-West Germanic *wiþidrīban (“to drive back”), equivalent to with- + drive. Cognate with Old Frisian withdrīva (“to restore”). Compare also Old High German widartrīban (“to drive back, refute”), whence archaic German widertreiben (“to drive back, prevent, thwart”).
