exert
含义: To apply or bring to bear force, influence, pressure, or effort in a sustained or determined way.
Exert is a formal verb commonly found in two patterns: 'exert influence/pressure/authority on' (applying power externally) and 'exert oneself' (making a great personal effort). In physics, forces exert themselves on objects; in politics, lobbyists exert pressure on ministers; in everyday life, one exerts oneself to meet a deadline. The word implies deliberate, sustained application rather than casual or momentary effort. It is standard in academic, political, and scientific writing.
