discourage-discovery：山重水复难发现

【造词理据】象形。源自PIE词根*kerd-（心脏、中间的），K为C的同音通转，C形表包围，引申指被环绕的中心、中间的、心脏。courage在这里借“心脏”抽象指内在的感情、勇气。discourage表失去勇气、灰心、劝阻。dis-表离开（away）。

【例句】His mother discourage him from joining the navy, saying that it was a hard life, but he refused to be discouraged. 他母亲劝阻他不要参加海军，说海军生活很艰苦，但他不为所动。

【同根词】accord; cardiac; cardio-; concord; core; cordial; courage; credence; credible; credit; credo; credulous; creed; discord; grant; heart; incroyable; megalocardia; miscreant; myocardium; pericarditis; pericardium; quarry (n.1) "what is hunted;" record; recreant; tachycardia.

【提示】词根cord（绳索）与本词不是同根词。

【造词理据】象形。源自PIE符合词根*op-wer-yo-，其中op-是epi-的变体，表靠近、在；词根wer表覆盖，W=V形表转折、覆盖。dis-表相反，所以dicover表找到、发现。dis-，-o（p）是前缀。

【例句】Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. 有朝一日你会发现到，尽管爸多么的笨手笨脚地做错事，但我总是希望你能得到最好的，同时我一直都在设法为你铺路。
