英文词源

veto
veto: [17] Latin vetō meant ‘I forbid’ (it was the first person present singular of vetāre ‘forbid’, a verb of uncertain origin which may be related to Welsh gwadu ‘deny’). It was used in the Roman senate by tribunes of the people as a formula for objecting to proposals, and it was originally introduced into English as part of the terminology of parliamentary procedure.
veto (n.)
1620s, from Latin veto, literally "I forbid," first person singular present indicative of vetare "forbid, prohibit, oppose, hinder," of unknown origin. In ancient Rome, the "technical term for protest interposed by a tribune of the people against any measure of the Senate or of the magistrates" [Lewis].
veto (v.)
1706, from veto (n.). Related: Vetoed; vetoing.

中文解释

1. 谐音:未投-----未投他的票,当然就是否决他啦!2. vote是投票的意思,把o和e颠倒一下变成了veto,就是“投反对票,否决”的意思。
