词源late Middle English (in the sense ‘relative, comparative’): from medieval Latin respectivus, from respect- ‘regarded, considered’, from the verb respicere ‘look back at, regard’, from re- ‘back’ + specere ‘look at’, reinforced by French respectif, -ive. - They are each recognized specialists in their respective fields.
