词源
vent (v.)late 14c., “emit from a confined space,” probably a shortening of aventer “expose oneself to the air” (c. 1300), from Old French eventer “let out, expose to air,” from Vulgar Latin *exventare, from Latin ex “out” + ventus “wind” (from PIE *wē-nt-o‑ “blowing,” suffixed (participial) form of root *we- “to blow”).
Sense of “express freely” first recorded 1590s. Sense of “divulge, publish” (1590s) is behind phrase vent one’s spleen (see spleen). Related: Vented; venting.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
vent (v.)late 14c.,“从密闭空间发射”,可能是 aventer“将自己暴露在空气中”(约 1300)的缩写,来自古法语 eventer“让出去,暴露在空气中”,来自粗俗拉丁语 *exventare,源自拉丁语 ex“out”+ ventus“风”(源自 PIE *wē-nt-o-“吹”,词根 *we-“吹”的后缀(分词)形式)。 “自由表达”的感觉首次记录在1590年代。短语“vent one’s spleen”(见“spleen”)背后有“泄露、公布”(1590年代)的意思。相关:通风;通风。相关条目及更多
