释义

dispungev.

/dɪˈspʌndʒ/
Forms: Also disponge.
Etymology: < di-, dis- prefix 1a + spunge, sponge v., or Latin spongiāre to wipe away with a sponge, < spongia sponge. In sense there is evident association with expunge v. Latin expungĕre ‘to prick out, strike out, erase’ (which also appears in modern use to be influenced by ‘sponge’ and understood as ‘to wipe out’); but no contact of sense appears with Latin dispungĕre to check off (debits and credits), balance (accounts), weigh, try.
1. transitive. To discharge or pour down as from a squeezed sponge. archaic.
