core核心畫面

Hold the picture of the same action coming back over and over — knocking on a door again... and again... and again. 'Repeatedly' points at that loop: not once, but the same thing happening many times.

可以想成同一個動作一次又一次回來——敲門,再敲,再敲……。repeatedly 指的就是這種「繞回來」的循環:不是只做一次,而是同一件事發生了很多次。

From the word’s history

From repeat, Latin repetere = re- 'again' + petere 'to go toward, seek' — literally 'to go at it again'. That re- ('again') is the heart of the word.

來自 repeat,拉丁文 repetere=re-(再一次)加 petere(走向、去追)。字面是「再去追一次、再上一次」。字裡那個 re-(再)就是這個字的核心。
