  1. 1視為、認定（很正式，不是口語的「覺得」）

    To deem something is to think of it in a particular way, or to judge that it has a particular quality — but in an official, careful voice, not a casual one. You deem a plan necessary, deem a person unfit, deem an idea inappropriate. It is not the everyday verb for “think” or “feel.” You would not text a friend “I deem this pizza good.” The word belongs in law, notices, news, and formal writing, where someone is putting a label on a thing, almost as a ruling. That taste is old: the earlier meaning was close to “judge” or “give a decision,” and a little of that still sits in the modern word. The usual pattern is deem + something + adjective (or “to be” + adjective). Though actually, even in formal English it often hides in the passive: the meeting was deemed a success, the product was deemed unsafe — a tidy way to say “people in charge decided,” without naming who.

組成From Middle English dēmen, “to judge, believe, think,” from Old English dēman, “to decide, decree, deem,” going back to a Germanic verb for judging, and further to an old root meaning “to set, put.”
