Garner's Modern American Usage对此词有一段很好的解说;
password; passcode
The latter is a NEOLOGISM created in an effort to keep up with modern technology. In the computer age, a password is often not a word at all; instead, it’s merely a combination of characters (letters and numbers). Hence the term passcode, born in the early 1990s.
Like many other neologisms, this one may be short-lived: password isn’t likely to be bumped from the language. Indeed, those who object to a password that consists of the digits in one’s birthdate, for example, are probably being too literal. |
