1. The notion underlying escort is of 'guidance', of 'showing the right path'.
2. ex- => es- + (correct => corrig- => corg- => cort-) => escort.
3. 词源上这个词和correct同源,但引申较多,在此用联想。es前缀“外边”,cort看成cart(二轮运货马车),字面义“在马车外”。古时护镖人跟随马车一路前行,又有关云长千里走单骑护送兄妻,也是一路走在马车外边。

英文词源


escort
escort: [16] The notion underlying escort is of ‘guidance’, of ‘showing the right path’. The word comes via French from Italian scorta ‘guide’, a noun use of the past participle of scorgere ‘show, guide’. This in turn came from Vulgar Latin *excorrigere, a compound verb formed from the prefix ex- ‘out’ and Latin corrigere ‘put right’ (source of English correct).
=> correct
escort (n.)
1570s, in military sense, from Middle French escorte (16c.), from Italian scorta, literally "a guiding," from scorgere "to guide," from Vulgar Latin *excorrigere, from ex- "out" (see ex-) + Latin corrigere "set right" (see correct (v.)). The sense of "person accompanying another to a social occasion" is 1936.
escort (v.)
1708, originally military, from escort (n.), or from French escorter; social sense is from 1890. Related: Escorted; escorting.
