Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English rote (custom, habit, wont, condition, state), further origin. Found in the Middle English phrase bi rote (by heart, according to form, expertly), c. 1300. Some have proposed a relationship either with rote/rute (route), or rota wheel (see rotary), but the OED calls both suggestions groundless.
