词源：
succumb (v.)late 15c. (Caxton), transitive, “bring down, bring low,” a rare sense now obsolete; from Old French succomber “succumb, die, lose one’s (legal) case,” and directly from Latin succumbere “submit, surrender, yield, be overcome; sink down; lie under; cohabit with,” from assimilated form of sub “under, beneath” (see sub-) + -cumbere “take a reclining position,” related to cubare “lie down” (see cubicle).
The usual sense of “sink or give way under pressure or superior force” is recorded by c. 1600. As a euphemism for “to die,” from 1849 on the notion of succumb to disease, injury, etc. Related: Succumbed; succumbing; succumbent; succumbence.Related entries & more
