  2. The troops were forced to withdraw from the battlefield. (士兵们被迫从战场上撤退。)
  3. He decided to withdraw his statement after realizing its implications. (他意识到自己话语的含义后决定撤回声明。)

“Withdraw”一词源自中古英语的 “withdrawn”,前缀 “with-” 表示 “反对,远离”,词根 “-draw” 表示 “拉,拖”。所以”withdrawn” 整体上就是 “拉远离” 的意思。

“Withdraw” 中的 “with-” 是前缀, “-draw” 是词根。这个单词中并没有后缀。

“Withdraw” 这个词的发展历史追溯到公元1000年,最初用于描述从战场中撤退的情况,后来进一步扩展到其他领域。
