Middle English proces
中古英语 proces
from Old French [development]
源自 古法语 [发展]
from Latin prôcessus [from past participle of] prôcôdere [to advance] * see proceed
源自 拉丁语 prôcessus [] 源自prôcôdere的过去分词 [前进] *参见 proceed

In recent yearsthere has been a tendency to pronounce the plural ending-es of processes as (-ôz), perhaps by analogy with words of Greek origin such asanalysis and neurosis. Butprocess is not of Greek origin, and there is no etymological justification for this pronunciation of its plural.The pronunciation may someday become so widespread as to be a standard variant,but it still strikes some listeners as a bungled affectation.
近年来，有把processes 的复数词尾 -es 读成(-ez)的趋势， 这也许与源于希腊语的词analysis 和 neurosis 相似。 但是process 不是来源于希腊语， 因此从词源学的角度来说，其复数形式不应这么发音。或许有一天这种发音会被广泛采用而成为标准的变体，但仍有一些人听了这种发音后会觉得这是一种拙劣的矫揉造作
