Picture your bank balance and an arrow pointing away from it. Money leaves; the number goes down. Everything this word does keeps that direction — the amount that left, the column where such amounts are written, the act of taking it out, and even a way of talking about the minus side of any list of pros and cons. Its opposite, credit, is the arrow pointing the other way.

可以想成:你的帳戶餘額旁邊有一個往外的箭頭。錢出去了,數字變小。這個字所有的用法都保留著那個方向——出去的那筆金額、記錄這些金額的那一欄、把錢取出的動作,甚至用來談一份優缺點清單裡「扣分」的那一邊。它的相反詞 credit 就是箭頭反過來。
