助記提示
1、aperire "open, uncover" <=> operire "close, cover", 互為反義詞。
2、apert- => overt- + -ure.
3、取引申義，表示：(歌劇、戲劇等的)開始、開幕(opening)，進一步引申為：序曲、序幕、前奏曲；同時還引申為：主動提出、主動表示、主動建議，即作為一種主動姿態(opening)提出。
4、其含義要注意與overt區分。
5、p變v的實例：French evesque (English: bishop, Latin: episcopus, Greek episkopos) merely softens the p into v and drops the last syllable.
