<注釋>A student who is being examined might prefer at times to deal with a swarm of bees rather than be weighed in the balance once again.The history of the wordexamine involves both phenomena. Examine, first recorded in English in a work composed before 338,goes back to the Latin wordex3min3re, which in turn is derived fromex3men, meaning both .a swarm of bees. and .the apparatus or process of weighing, balance.. Ex3men has these senses because it is formed from the prefixex-, .out of,. and the root .ag-, .to drive, force.. The semantic possibilities of this combination are shown by the senses of the related verbexigere, which meant .to drive out,. .to exact payment,. .to demand,. and .to inquire after or into..The verbex3min3re derived from ex3men has the sense .to swarm. as well as the senses .to weigh, balance,. and .to consider critically..
