助記提示

1. overt => covert ( c- [from com-, intensive prefix; com- => co- => c-] + overt, 它們兩屬于反義同源 ).
2. 而 covert 又是由 cover 的古法語形式的過去分詞形式直接借用過來的，因此你可以將 covert 直接看做是 cover 的古法語形式的過去分詞。
3. 反義同源詞根：oper-/opert(過去分詞形式)(operire "cover, close") <==> aper-/apert(過去分詞形式)(aperire "uncover, open").
4. 同源同義音變：aper-/apert(過去分詞形式)(aperire "uncover, open") ==> over-/overt(過去分詞形式)(古法語：overt, past participle of ovrir "uncover, open").
5. PIE prefix *ap- "off, away" + base *wer- "cover"; PIE prefix *op- "over" + base *wer- "cover".
6. 注意同源音變的區(qū)別：apert- => overt; copert- => covert; coper- => cover.
