把東西從看得到的地方分出去
教學上可以接著同一個「分出來」的畫面：這次分出去的不是液體，是一筆錢、一疊文件、一把鑰匙，而且分到沒有人找得到的地方。這是幫助記憶用的連結，不是歷史上的血緣。
verb · C2
To put something in a place where other people will not find it.
藏匿
核心畫面
You can picture secrete as setting one thing apart from the rest. A takes a little of what is in the blood, separates it out, and sends it where it is needed — that is the biological use. The other use, hiding something, can be held with the same picture: you take one thing out of the shared, visible world and set it apart where nobody looks. Useful as a memory hook, but the two uses reached modern English by different , and the picture is not a claim that one grew out of the other.

可以想成：secrete 的畫面是「分出來」。腺體從血液裡分出一點液體，再送到需要它的地方——這就是「分泌」。另一個意思「藏起來」，也可以用同一個畫面拿著：把一樣東西從大家看得到的世界裡分出去，放到沒有人會看的地方。這是幫助記憶的想法。要注意的是，這兩個用法在來源裡走的是不同的路，畫面像不代表它們真的同源。From the word’s history
The packet's source traces the biological verb to Latin secretus, the participle of secerno, to separate, reinforced by a back-formation from secretion. The hiding verb is given separately as an alteration of secret.
來源把「分泌」的 secrete 追到拉丁文 sēcrētus，也就是動詞 sēcernō（分開）的分詞，並說它有一部分是從名詞 secretion 逆推回來的。至於「藏匿」的 secrete，來源另外標明它是 secret 的改寫。所以這是兩條路，不是一條。
