adjective词源
Middle English: from Old French esploit (noun), based on Latin explicare 'unfold' （see EXPLICATE）. The early notion of 'success, progress' gave rise to the sense 'attempt to capture', 'military expedition', hence the current sense of the noun. Current verb senses （mid 19th cent.） are taken from modern French exploiter.
