墳墓所在的那個地點
這一族就是核心畫面本身:可以走到、可以站在前面的那一個地點。
noun · B2
The place where a grave is: the marked spot of ground, in a cemetery or elsewhere, where a person is buried. People also use the word for the grave itself.
墓地
Think of one point on a map. Someone is buried there, a stone carries the name, and if you want to see them, that is where you go. It is not the whole cemetery, just the one spot inside it. Two things live in that picture. Something finished lies there, and the place only stays cared for as long as people remember to come. When the word is used about websites, that same picture moves online.
The packet's source entry says the word is simply grave plus site, so it names the location of a grave. The web uses are a later figure of speech built on that picture, not a separate historical root.
packet 裡的來源條目寫著:這個字就是 grave 加 site,也就是「墳墓的那個地點」。講網站的用法是後來借這個畫面來比喻,不是另一條歷史來源。

墓地
搬到網路上的墓地
這是比喻,不是另一條歷史來源:把「沒人整理、沒人來」的那個地方拿來說網站。兩個意思剛好各取畫面裡的一半。
noun · C1
An old website that the people who started it have stopped looking after, so it stays online with its old pages and nothing new is ever added.
