- 1撬開、撬起（英式拼法；美式多寫 pry）
To prise something is to move it or lift it by pushing it away from what holds it — often with a tool, as when you prise a lid off a tin, or prise a window open after it sticks. It is a hands-and-tools verb: boxes, nails, doors, things. You can also prise a secret out of someone, meaning you push until they tell you; that is the same idea, stretched. This spelling is British. In American English people more often say pry for the same action, and you will also see prize written for it. It is not the prize you win at a fair; that is a different meaning, though the two words are old twins from the same French root.
組成From the Middle English noun prise (“taking of something”), from Old French prise (“seizure; taking; capture”), the past participle of prendre (“to take”). Doublet of prize.
