[h1]Did You Know?[/h1]Let us conquer any uncertainty you may have about the history of evince. It derives from Latin evincere, meaning "to vanquish" or "to win a point," and can be further traced to vincere, Latin for "to conquer." In the early 1600s, evince was sometimes used in the senses "to subdue" or "to convict of error," meanings evincing the influence of its Latin ancestors. It was also sometimes used as a synonym of its cousin convince, but that sense is now obsolete. One early meaning, "to constitute evidence of," has hung on, however, and in the 1800s it was joined by another sense, "to reveal."

[h1]Did You Know?[/h1]让我们克服你对历史的任何不确定性。它源自拉丁语evincere，意思是“征服”或“赢得一个点”，并且可以进一步追溯到vincere，拉丁语为“征服”。在17世纪早期，evince有时被用于“制服”或“判断错误”的含义，意味着显示其拉丁祖先的影响。它有时也被用作其堂兄说服的同义词，但这种感觉现在已经过时了。然而，一个早期的意义，“构成证据”，并且在19世纪，它被另一种感觉所加入，“揭示”。
