- 1規定的、法定的。若是醫生開的藥,台灣說「醫師開的」「處方藥」,那是另一個更口語、更常見的用法。
In the sense filed here, prescribed means laid down in advance by a rule. A form must be filled in the prescribed way. You must apply within the prescribed time. Laws, exams, and offices like this word: it means the official way, not any way you like. It is the -ed form of , so it can also be a simple past (“The law prescribed a fine”). Though actually, the meaning students meet first is medical: a prescribed medicine is one a doctor has written for you. Same family of ideas — someone in authority has set it down — but the doctor’s sense is the common one, and the “by a rule” sense lives in formal and legal English. If you only learn the medical sense, a sentence like “the prescribed procedure” will feel odd, as if a doctor had ordered a form. There is also specialist talk such as prescribed burning (a planned fire on the land), which is a further stretch.
組成prescribe + -ed. Prescribe is from Latin praescribere, to write a rule beforehand (prae- before + scribere to write).
