to the stomach; the gullet.]

字源:French espionnage, from espionner, to spy, from Old French espion, spy,
from Old Italian spione, of Germanic origin; see spek- in Indo-European roots
古法文有个espion就是spy的意思唷
espy
v. 窥探、看到[To catch sight of (something distant, partially hidden, or
obscure), see]
ex. Is it you I espy jogging in the park this morning?
我今天早上看到在公园里有个人慢跑,是你吗?

espouse字源:Middle English espousen, from Old French espouser, from Latin sp
ōnsāre, frequentative of spondēre, to betroth
espouse是从拉丁字sponsare来的,它的意思是订婚(betroth)
spouse字源:from Latin spōnsus, from past participle of spondēre, to pledge
spouse跟espouse都有同样的来源,它们最核心的概念就是pledge誓言,spouse是配偶之
义,可看出里面有誓言存在。
