Picture a written rule handed down by a government office or a company: not advice, not custom, but something set out on paper that everyone under it has to follow. From that one sheet of paper the word spreads two ways - to the whole business of keeping something in line with such rules, and to the things themselves that match what the rules say.

可以想成 regulation 的畫面是一條被寫下來、由政府單位或機構發布的規則:不是建議,也不是習慣,而是白紙黑字、底下的人都得照著做。從這張紙出發,這個字往兩邊長——一邊長成「照這些規則去管住某件事」的整套動作,一邊長成「合乎這些規則的那一種」東西。
