    delete 可以想成「把已經寫好或存好的東西拿掉，讓它不見」——最常用在電腦、手機上刪檔案、刪訊息，也可以指從清單、名單上把某項劃掉。跟 remove 比，delete 特別帶有「徹底拿掉、讓它消失」的感覺。

core核心畫面

Picture a word on a screen or page, and then it is wiped away — you press a key and the letters vanish, leaving a clean, empty space where they used to be. Nothing is torn or thrown out; it is simply erased, gone from sight.

比較像：螢幕或紙上本來有一段字，你一按鍵，那些字就被抹掉了，原本的位置變回一片空白。東西不是被撕掉或丟掉，而是被擦掉、從眼前消失。

From the word’s history

From Latin delere 'to wipe out, blot out, efface', linked to delinere 'to smear over' — originally smudging away the wax letters on a writing tablet. That old picture of smearing writing off a surface is exactly today's core: making written marks disappear.

來自拉丁文 delere「抹去、塗掉」，和 delinere「塗抹」相關——最早指的是把蠟板上寫的字抹平擦掉。那個「把寫在表面上的字抹掉」的老畫面，正好就是今天的核心：讓寫下來的東西消失。

    • Early on in the model year [1968] Pontiac experienced some production problems [in producing polyurethane bumpers] regarding fit, matching paint color, and bonding the material to the base metal. As a result, 2,108 1968 GTOs left the factory with chrome bumpers borrowed from the LeMans. These cars had a special option on their order sheets called "Endura bumper delete." Everyone wanted the Endura bumpers and no one ordered that option of his or her own free will. As soon as Pontiac worked out the production problems the chrome bumpers disappeared for good and "Endura bumper delete" disappeared from the option list.
