Going in front of someone and showing them the way, so they get where they need to go.

可以想成一個畫面:你走在前頭帶路,讓不認得路的人跟著你,安全地到達他要去的地方。guide 所有的意思都從這個「帶路、指路」的動作長出來——帶的可能是觀光客、可能是別人的人生選擇,也可能是一本替你指路的書。

From the word’s history

From Old French guider ‘to lead, conduct’, related to Old Provençal guidar; tied to the idea of ‘showing the way’. A guide is one who leads the way.

源自古法語 guider(帶領、引導),核心一直是「替人指路、領著走」。名詞 guide 就是那個走在前面帶路的人或那本帶路的書。
