英语词源

• escape 英文词源 escape escape: [14] Originally, escape meant literally ‘take off one’s cloak’, and signified metaphorically ‘throw off restraint’ – much as we might say unbutton . The word appears to come ultimately from Vulgar Latin * excappāre , a hypothetical compound verb formed from the prefix ex - ‘out, off’ and cappa ‘cloak’ (source of English cape ). This passed into Old
• exchequer 英文词源 exchequer exchequer: [13] Etymologically, an exchequer is something that has ‘checks’ or squares on it, and indeed the earliest use of the word in English was for ‘chessboard’. It came via Anglo- Norman escheker from medieval Latin scaccārium ‘chessboard’, a derivative of Vulgar Latin scaccus ‘check’ (source of English check ‘verify’). In the early Middle Ages the
• escalator 英文词源 escalator (n.) 1900, American English, trade name of an Otis Elevator Co. moving staircase, coined from escalade + -ator in elevator . Figurative use is from 1927. 中文词源 escalator （电动扶梯）：在攻城战中用梯子攀爬城墙 英语单词escalator（电动扶梯）原本是美国著名的奥蒂斯电梯公司（Otis Elevator Co.）所生产的电动扶梯的品牌名。
• emancipate 英文词源 emancipate emancipate: [17] Despite modern associations with women’s liberation, emancipate has no etymological connection with man .

This was a compound verb formed from the prefix ex - ‘out of’ and mancipium ‘ownership’, and referred in Roman law to the freeing of a son from the legal
• etiquette 英文词源 etiquette etiquette: [18] Etiquette is, almost literally, ‘just the ticket’. The primary meanings of French étiquette are ‘ticket’ and ‘label’ – and indeed it is the source of English ticket . A particular application of it in former times was to a small card which had written or printed on it directions as to how to behave properly at court – hence it came to mean ‘
• embark 英文词源 embark embark: [16] To embark is literally to ‘put or get on to a boat’ – or more specifically a barque [15] (a word acquired ultimately from late Latin barca , which is probably related to English barge ). Its immediate French ancestor, barque , formed the basis of a compound verb embarquer , borrowed by English as embark . The antonym disembark also dates from the 16th century
• epicure 英文词源 epicure epicure: [16] The Greek philosopher Epicurus (Greek Epíkouros ) (341–270 BC) evolved a code of life and behaviour which stressed the avoidance of pain, but since his time it has been stood on its head to signify the active seeking of pleasure – and particularly the pleasures of the table. Indeed, when the word epicure (which arrived via Latin epicūrus ) was introduced in
• esquire 英文词源 esquire esquire: see squire esquire (n.) late 14c., from Middle French esquier "squire," literally "shield-bearer" (for a knight), from Old French escuier "shield-bearer (attendant young man in training to be a knight), groom" (Modern French écuyer ), from Medieval Latin scutarius "shield-bearer, guardsman" (in classical Latin, "shield-maker"), from scutum "shield" (see hide (n.1)).
• explode 英文词源 explode explode: [16] The use of explode to mean ‘burst with destructive force’ is a comparatively recent, late 19th-century development. The Latin verb explōdere , from which it comes, signified something quite different – ‘drive off the stage with hisses and boos’ (it was a compound formed from the prefix ex - ‘out’ and plaudere ‘clap’, source of English applaud a
• episode 英文词源 episode episode: [17] In modern English, an episode is a component in a series of connected events, but originally it was something incidental, coming in adventitiously from the side. The word comes from Greek epeisódion ‘addition’, a noun use of the adjective epeisódios ‘coming in besides’. This was a compound formed from the prefix epí - ‘besides’ and the noun eísodo
• ell 英文词源 ell ell: see elbow ell (n.1) unit of measure, Old English eln , originally "forearm, length of the arm" (as a measure, anywhere from a foot and a half to two feet), from PIE *el- (1) "elbow, forearm" (cognates: Greek olene "elbow," Latin ulna , Armenian uln "shoulder," Sanskrit anih "part of the leg above the knee," Lithuanian alkune "elbow").

Evocatio was used of the Roman custom of petitioning the gods of an enemy city to aband
• envy 英文词源 envy envy: [13] The underlying meaning of envy is simply ‘look at someone’ – the implication being, ‘with malice or resentment’.

This in turn was a compound verb formed from the prefix in - ‘in, on’ and vidē

Medieval alchemists used this as a wor
• Easter 英文词源 Easter (n.) Old English Easterdæg , from Eastre (Northumbrian Eostre ), from Proto-Germanic *austron- , "dawn," also the name of a goddess of fertility and spring, perhaps originally of sunrise, whose feast was celebrated at the spring equinox, from *aust- "east, toward the sunrise" (compare east ), from PIE *aus- (1) "to shine" (especially of the dawn); see aurora .

• eleven 英文词源 eleven eleven: [OE] Originally, eleven and twelve seem to have meant literally ‘one over’ and ‘two over’. Eleven comes ultimately from a prehistoric Germanic * ainlif - (source also of German elf and Swedish elva ) in which the first element * ainaz is ‘one’ and the second is probably related to English leave . The compound would thus have signified ‘one left (over ten)’

Both come via Old French assaier from Vulgar Latin * exagiāre ‘weigh out’, a verb derived from late Latin exagium ‘weighing’; this in turn was formed from the Latin verb exigere ‘weigh’ (source of English exact and examine ). Accordingly, both originally

(The Greek verb derived from ēkhé , ēkhein , is the ultim
• euthanasia 英文词源 euthanasia euthanasia: [17] Etymologically, euthanasia means ‘good death’, and that was more or less its signification when it was introduced into English: ‘Give me but gentle Death: Euthanasia, Euthanasia, that is all I implore’, Tatler 1709.
