One way to hold this word: a shelf of things already gathered and ready. Nothing on it has to be made tonight — it was collected in advance, so it can be taken down whenever it is wanted. From there the senses differ only in what sits on the shelf and who reaches for it: papers in a store, songs in a singer's head, plays a company can put on this week, old films a cinema can screen tonight.

可以想成一個架子,上面的東西早就收好、隨時能拿。架上的東西不必今晚現做,因為它們是事先備起來的,要用的時候取下來就好更多收起可以想成一個架子,上面的東西早就收好、隨時能拿。架上的東西不必今晚現做,因為它們是事先備起來的,要用的時候取下來就好。各個意思的差別,其實只在架上放的是什麼、由誰去拿:可能是收在一處的文件、歌手腦中的歌、劇團這禮拜排得出來的戲,或戲院今晚放得出來的老片。

From the word’s history

The Wiktionary entry supplied in this packet records repertory as a learned borrowing from Late Latin repertōrium, and as a doublet of repertoire — the same word reaching English twice by different routes, which is why the two are so close in meaning.

本批資料的 Wiktionary 條目寫著:repertory 是從晚期拉丁文 repertōrium 借來的書面借詞,而且和 repertoire 是同一個字的兩條路線(doublet)。這解釋了為什麼在「會的曲目」那個意思上,兩個字幾乎可以互換。(拉丁文原義未在資料中列出,這裡不做推測。)
