來(lái)源：
French retirer [to retreat]
法語(yǔ) retirer [撤退]
from Old French [to take back]

<注釋>Despite the upbeat books written about retiringand the fact that it is a well-earned time of relaxation from the daily rigors of work,many people do not find it a particularly pleasant prospect.Perhaps the etymology ofretire may hint at why. The ultimate source of our word is the Old French wordretirer, made up of the prefixre-, meaning in this case .back,. and the verb tirer, .to draw,. together meaning .to take back or withdraw.. The first use of the English wordretire is recorded in 533 in reference to a military force that withdraws.It is not until ''7 that we find the word used to mean .to withdraw from a position for more leisure..In regard to the sting in all thiswe need to look at the source oftirer, .to draw, draw out, endure,.which ultimately may be from Old Frenchmartir, .a martyr,. probably reflecting the fact that martyrs had to endure the torture of being stretched up to and beyond the point of dislocating their bones.
盡管有關(guān)于退休的樂(lè)觀(guān)書(shū)籍，以及退休是從日常工作的嚴(yán)酷中解放出來(lái)的極好時(shí)光的事實(shí)，許多人并沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)它特別令人愉悅的地方。也許retire 的語(yǔ)源學(xué)暗示了原因。 這個(gè)詞最早的來(lái)源是古法語(yǔ)單詞retirer ， 由在此意指.向后.的前綴re- 及意為.拉.的動(dòng)詞 tiver 合在一起組成，意為.撤回或退回.。 英語(yǔ)單詞retire 的使用則最早記錄于553年， 指撤退的軍隊(duì)。直到''7年我們才發(fā)現(xiàn)該詞用于表達(dá).為得到更多的閑暇而退出職位。.考慮到所有這些詞的負(fù)面含義，我們有必要看看tirer 的詞源， 其意為.拉，拉出，容忍，.它可能最初源于意為.殉道者.的古法語(yǔ)martir ， 這可能反映了一個(gè)事實(shí)，即殉者不得不忍受四肢被拉直至骨肉脫離的酷刑
