词源Middle English: from Old French, from Latin commendatio(n-), from commendare ‘commit to the care of’, from com- (expressing intensive force) + mandare ‘commit, entrust’. Originally (in the plural) the term denoted a form of worship in church ending with a prayer commending the souls of the dead to God.
