Think of someone who worked with great care and checked every detail, so what they produced lines up exactly with the real facts — nothing off, nothing guessed.
From the word’s history
From Latin accuratus 'done with care', from ad- + cura 'care'. The idea began as 'worked on carefully' and, because careful work leaves no mistakes, shifted to 'exact, error-free' in the 1650s.
源自拉丁文 accuratus「用心做出來的」,由 ad-(朝向)加 cura(照料、用心)組成。原意是「仔細處理過的」,因為夠仔細就不會出錯,1650 年代起轉為「精確、無誤差」——正好對上今天「因用心而準確」的核心。
