英文詞源
- vet
- vet: [19] Vet is short for veterinary surgeon. As a verb, it was originally used (in the 1890s) for ‘examine an animal medically’, but before the end of the 19th century this had broadened out to ‘investigate, screen’. Veterinary [18] itself came from Latin veterīnārius, a derivative of veterīnus ‘of cattle and similar domestic animals’.
- vet (n.1)
- 1862, shortened form of veterinarian.
- vet (v.)

- vet (n.2)
- 1848, shortened form of veteran (n.).
