providence vs. provision
-----------------------------------------------
imprecise
in-precise [cise == cut]
adj.不精確的
ex. the terms he used were imprecise and emotional.
impregnable
in-pregn(take)-able
adj.攻不破的 [strong enough to resist or withstand attack]
ex. impregnable attitude on life
ex. The lawyer won his case with an impregnable argument.
律師以攻不破的論據打贏了那場官司。
字源：in- "not" + prenable "assailable, vulnerable," from stem of prendre "to
take, grasp," from L. prehendere (see prehensile).
ps. pregnant [pregn-ant] adj.懷孕的
ex. pregnant woman
impresario
n.【義】(歌劇、樂團等的)經理人[a person who organizes or manages public
entertainments, esp. operas, ballets, or concerts.]
聯想：impresario長的還滿有impress的味道的，
可以想像成管理那些impress觀眾的歌劇團的經理人。
字源：1746, from It. impresario "operatic manager," lit. "undertaker (of a
business)," from impresa "undertaking," fem. of impreso, pp. of imprendere
"undertake," from V.L. imprendere, from L. in- "onto" + prehendere "to grasp"
impresario是從義大文來的，字的發展是從impresa "undertaking;企業,保證"。
impresario:entertainment＝broker:trade
impress
in-press
v.給...極深的印象 [ to affect deeply or strongly in mind or feelings]
ex. I was very impressed by his story.
impressed
in-press-ed
adj.印象極深的 [deeply affected or influenced in mind or feelings ]
impression
in-press-ion
n.印象 [ An effect, feeling, or image retained as a consequence of
experience.]
ex. make a good impression on sb.
ps.Impressionism = 印象派
impressionable
in-press-ion-able
adj.易受影響的 [easily impressed or influenced; susceptible]
ex. an impressionable youngster.
imprint
in-print
v.壓印 [To produce (a mark or pattern) on a surface by pressure.]

ps.
在心理學中imprint稱做「銘印現象」--ex.鳥類動物在破蛋而出後，會把第一個看到的對
象當成母親
c.f.
imprint v.壓印
implant v.植入
先來補充幾個字
字根
vis vid == see
-vid系列-
provide v.提供
provid-ence
n.遠見 // provid-ent a.有遠見的 [providing for future needs or events]
n.天意 // provid-ential a.根據天意的、幸運的
pro前，vid看：pro-vide向前看。
由"向前看"而指著"往未來看"，
所以有"遠見"的概念，指是防範未然，未雨綢繆之意。
provide的字根構成的意思是"向前看"
它的字義轉化成"提供給未來之用"
providence，為什麼還有"天意"的概念呢
其實它是這樣來的，古代的基督教徒認為未來的事物是上帝所安排好的，
所以providence字根構成之義『在未來看到的東西』就是上帝的安排--天意的意思。
-vis系列-
provision
n.提供 // provide 的名詞型
n.臨時性的規定、條款
n.食物、糧食
provision-al adj.臨時的、暫時性的 [providing or serving for the time being
only]
provisory adj.臨時的、暫時性的
adj.有附帶條件的
provision 除了有提供的意思外還有其他兩個意思
其一是臨時性的規定、條款。
源於宗教開會討論時，所暫時同意的論點，意思是為了未來討論而暫時同意。
其二是特殊意，當食物解。
----------------------------------------
improvise
in-pro-vis-e [沒有事前看過]
v.即興創作 [To invent, compose, or perform with little or no preparation.]

把prude的r(牙齒)私自拿走是放肆無禮的

ex. 如果你 impugn某個人動機、正直，你暗示著某人不是全然誠實的。
