The Biblical book of Exodus describes the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, so it&39;s no surprise that the word has come to refer more generally to any mass departure. The word itself was adopted into English (via Latin) from Greek Exodos, which literally means &34;the road out.&34; The Greek word was formed by combining the prefix ex- (meaning &34;out of&34;) and hodos, &34;road&34; or &34;way.&34; Other descendants of the prolific hodos in English include episode, method, odometer, and period. There are also several scientific words that can be traced back to hodos. Anode, and cathode can refer, respectively, to the positive and negative electrodes of a diode, and hodoscope refers to an instrument for tracing the paths of ionizing particles.

“The Biblical book of Exodus ”《出埃及记》中描述了以色列人离开埃及的过程，所以这个词更普遍地指任何大规模的离去（大迁徙）也就不足为奇了。这个词本身(通过拉丁语)是从希腊文 Exodos 引入英语的，字面意思是“ the road out「出去的路」”。这个希腊单词由前缀ex-(意思是“out of「离开」”)和hodos组成，hodos是“road”或“way”的意思。英语中hodos的很多衍生词包括episode「插曲」, method「方法；措施」，odometer「里程表」和period「时期；阶段」。还有一些科学词汇可以追溯到hodos。Anode「阳极」和cathode「阴极」可参照二极管的正负极，而hodoscope「荷多仪；辐射计数器」是指an instrument for tracing the paths of ionizing particles.「追踪电离子路径的仪器」。
