可以想成一個只有你才做得出來的個人記號:你用自己特有的方式把名字寫下來,留下一道別人模仿不來的痕跡,等於在說「這是我本人、我認這件事」。From the word’s history
From Latin signum 'a mark, sign' -> signare 'to mark, set a stamp on' -> Medieval Latin signatura. A signature is literally the personal mark you set on something.
源自拉丁文 signum(記號)→ signare(蓋印、做記號)→ signatura。所以 signature 骨子裡就是「你在東西上留下的個人印記」,和核心畫面完全對得上。
