dismiss
【词源】
Late Middle English: from medieval Latin "dimiss-",variant of Latin “dismiss-", which means "sent away", from the verb "dimittee".
【词义-搭配-例句】
- vt. order or allow sb to leave; send away; 让...离开，遣散，解散

【收获】
dismiss 这个词的词义主要可以概括成三种，在不同语境可以翻译成不同意思，但都有个共同点，都是send away 的具体解释。了解词源，概括词的大意（共同点），有共性-个性-共性，于我而言，会更好掌握些。
