escort 护送

来自拉丁文*excorrigere, 引导，护送，来自词根rig, 竖立，坚直，词源同right, erect. 原为军事术语。

escort: escort: [16] The notion underlying escort is of ‘guidance’, of ‘showing the right path’. The word comes via French from Italian scorta ‘guide’, a noun use of the past participle of scorgere ‘show, guide’. This in turn came from Vulgar Latin *excorrigere, a compound verb formed from the prefix ex- ‘out’ and Latin corrigere ‘put right’ (source of English correct).
