core核心畫面

組成From an old sense of hurt meaning “to knock or strike,” plus the little ending -le, which here means the action keeps happening. So the picture underneath is repeated knocking as something rushes along. Today’s hurt (pain) is historically the same root; hurtle kept the old “crash / rush” meaning.
