The key thing to think of when you’re trying to remember the meaning of sprout is growth — as a noun, a sprout is a new growth of a plant, and as a verb, to sprout means to grow. Sprouting mainly applies to height and to the young, whether you’re talking about plants, people, or things. An older person who gains fifty pounds is growing but not sprouting.
芽是植物上的小生长物——一个新的小芽。其他东西也可以发芽：孩子们不断发芽（成长）。

词源：
sprout (v.)Middle English sprouten, “to spring forth; grow, shoot forth as a bud,” from Old English -sprutan (in asprutan “to sprout”), from Proto-Germanic *sprut- (source also of Old Saxon sprutan, Old Frisian spruta, Middle Dutch spruten, Old High German spriozan, German sprießen “to sprout”).
According to Watkins this is from PIE *spreud-, extended form of root *sper- “to strew” (perhaps also the source of Old English spreawlian “to sprawl,” sprædan “to spread,” spreot “pole;” Armenian sprem “scatter;” Old Lithuanian sprainas “staring, opening wide one’s eyes;” Lettish spriežu “I span, I measure”).
The transitive sense of “produce by sprouting” is from c. 1600. Related: Sprouted; sprouting.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
sprout (v.)中古英语 sprouten，“春天；生长，像芽一样发芽”，源自古英语 -sprutan（asprutan 中“发芽”），源自原始日耳曼语 *sprut-（也源自古撒克逊语） sprutan、古弗里斯兰语 spruta、中古荷兰语 spruten、古高地德语 spriozan、德语 sprießen“发芽”）。根据沃特金斯的说法，这来自 PIE *spreud-，词根 *sper- 的扩展形式“散布”（也许也是古英语 sprawlian“蔓延”、“sprædan”“传播”、“spreot”“极点”、“亚美尼亚语 sprem”的来源）分散；”古立陶宛语扭伤“凝视，睁大眼睛；”列特语 spriežu“我跨越，我测量”）。 “发芽生产”的及物意义来自c。 1600.相关：发芽；发芽。相关条目及更多
