- 1喚起；勾起（情感或回憶）；也指召喚
Evocation is the noun for bringing a strong feeling or a memory up in someone — and for the thing that does that bringing. A novel can be an evocation of a childhood summer; a smell can be an evocation of a kitchen you have not stood in for years. It is a little formal; in casual talk people say it brings back or it reminds me. Though actually, the older, more literal idea is “calling something out.” In religion, magic, and some legal history, an evocation can be a summoning — calling a spirit, or calling a case up. Reviews and essays mostly use the feeling-and-memory sense, but the “calling forth” sense has not died. It sits beside the verb evoke.
組成From Middle French évocation. Same ‘call out’ family as evoke: Latin ex (out) + vocāre (to call).
