语源
  1. Middle English: from Old French record 'remembrance', from recorder 'bring to remembrance', from Latin recordari 'remember', based on cor, cord- 'heart'. The noun was earliest used in law to denote the fact of being written down as evidence. The verb originally meant 'narrate orally or in writing', also 'repeat so as to commit to memory'
