- 1根深蒂固的、深層的（多指態度、情緒；和 deep-rooted 很接近）
A deep-seated attitude, feeling, or idea is strong and sits far inside a person, so it is very difficult to change. Fear, anger, distrust, a belief about what is fair: these are the sorts of things we call deep-seated. It is not a medical word about where you sit, and it is not about a chair. Seated here means “placed,” as if the feeling had a seat deep in you and did not mean to move. You will usually see it before a noun, with a : a deep-seated worry. Though actually, deep-seated and deep-rooted overlap a great deal. If you force a shade, deep-seated slightly prefers feelings and attitudes already in place, and deep-rooted slightly prefers habits and beliefs that grew over time — but real writing treats them as close neighbours, not as two different tools.
From the word’s history
Compound of deep + seated.
由 deep「深」加 seated「坐落的」組成。
