advert

释义

▪ I. advert, v.|ædˈvɜːt|
Also 4–6 auerte, avert(e.
[a. Fr. avert-ir:—late L. advertē-re for cl. L. advertĕre to turn to, also (sc. animum) to turn the attention of oneself or another to, to remark, admonish; f. ad to + vertĕre to turn. L. āvertere to turn away, avert, also made OFr. avertir, which had thus all the senses ‘turn to, turn away, remark, call attention.’ In 14–16th c. avertir, when answering to L. advertere, was often written advertir; and, since Caxton, advert and avert have been distinguished in Eng. Mod.Fr. has avertir (Palsg. and Cotgr. advertir) only in the sense of ‘call the attention of another, admonish’ (one of the senses of L. advertere). The lengthened stem of this, a(d)vertiss-, has given Eng. advertise, orig. a synonym of advert, but subseq. differentiated, so that advert retains the sense of ‘turn one's own attention,’ advertise that of ‘direct the attention of others.’ Advert, advertise, avert, are thus all immediately from OFr. avertir, avertiss-ant.]
