entail

英 [ɪn'teɪl; en-] 美 [ɪn'tel]
  • vt. 使需要,必需;承担;遗传给;蕴含
  • n. 引起;需要;继承

助记提示


1. Entail means literally 'put a tail on' – but not the sort that grows. This is a tail in the sense of a 'legal limitation'.
2. detail, retail, tailor, tally => entail.
3. en- "make" + taile "legal limitation," especially of inheritance, ruling who succeeds in ownership and preventing the property from being sold off, from Anglo-French taile, Old French taillie, past participle of taillier "allot, cut to shape".
4. 由“遗传、继承”引申为“遗传、继承的结果”,进而引申为“导致、引起、产生”。
5. 限嗣继承:http://newspaper.jcrb.com/html/2010-06/18/content_47439.htm
6. 继承什么东西就是把什么东西扣在某人的头上;限嗣继承是需要限定条件的,所以引申为“需要、必需”。
