來自古法語 recovrer,回來，恢復(fù)，來自拉丁語 recuperare,恢復(fù)，重新獲取，來自 re-,再，重 新，-cup,抓住，得到，詞源同 capable,have,recuperate.該詞與 re-cover 為不同詞源。

recover

recover: [14] Recover and recuperate [16] are ultimately the same word. Both come from Latin recuperāre ‘recover, regain’, a compound verb based on the stem cup- ‘take’ (a variant of which produced capere ‘take’, source of English captive, capture, etc). Recuperate itself was acquired directly from the Latin verb’s past participle, whereas recover was routed via Old French recoverer. (Re-cover ‘cover again’, spelled similarly but pronounced differently, also dates from the 14th century.)
=> captive, capture, recuperate

recover (v.)

c. 1300, "to regain consciousness," from Anglo-French rekeverer (13c.), Old French recovrer "come back, return; regain health; procure, get again" (11c.), from Medieval Latin recuperare "to recover" (source of Spanish recobrar, Italian ricoverare; see recuperation). Meaning "to regain health or strength" is from early 14c.; sense of "to get (anything) back" is first attested mid-14c. Related: Recovered; recovering.
