From the word’s history
From Middle English contribucioun, from Old French, from Latin contribūtiō; contribute + -ion.
源自拉丁文 contribūtiō；即 contribute 加 -ion。
Picture a common pot that several people are filling. Your contribution is the piece you put in — money, work, an idea, a chapter — and once it is in, it stops being just yours and becomes part of something bigger that no single person made alone.
