喜樂美語

From the word’s history

Partly from Middle French insister, from Latin īnsistere; partly a back-formation from insistence.

部分借自中古法文 insister，源於拉丁文 īnsistere。

Wiktionary

Picture someone standing their ground and saying it again — and the second time matters more than the first, because it means the pushback did not move them. That under pressure is the word. Sometimes what is repeated is a claim (it IS true), sometimes a demand (it MUST happen), and sometimes it is not words at all but a habit the person will not drop.

可以想成：一個人站在原地，把話再說一次——而且第二次比第一次重要，因為那表示別人的反對沒有推動他。這份「被推了還是不動」就是這個字。重複的內容有時候是一個說法（就是真的），有時候是一個要求（就是得這樣），有時候根本不是話，而是一個他就是不肯改的習慣。
