English has hurt me a thousand times, but I still regard it as my first love.英语伤我千百遍,我待英语如初恋。 thousand 一千来自古英语thusend,千,来自Proto-Germanic*thusundi,千,词首*thu 可能来自PIE*teue,膨胀, 鼓起,词源同thigh,thumb,-sundi,来自Proto-Germanic*hundam,百,词源同hundred.该词字面 意思为好几百,后在翻译拉丁语mille(千,词源同million)的过程中逐渐确定为固定数词。 thousandthousand: [OE] Thousand is a compound noun of some antiquity, which seems to mean etymologically ‘several hundreds’. Its first element probably comes from a base denoting ‘increase’ or ‘multiplicity’, which also produced Latin tumēre ‘swell’ (source of English tumour) and Sanskrit tuvi ‘much’; its second element is the same as the first element of English hundred. The combination resulted in a prehistoric Germanic *thusundi, which evolved into German tausend, Dutch duizend, Swedish tusen, Danish tusind, and English thousand. It is shared by the Slavic languages – Russian, for instance, has tysjacha.=> hundred, thigh, thumb, tumourthousand (adj.)Old English þusend, from Proto-Germanic *thusundi (cognates: Old Frisian thusend, Dutch duizend, Old High German dusunt, German tausend, Old Norse þusund, Gothic þusundi). Related to words in Balto-Slavic (Lithuanian tukstantis, Old Church Slavonic tysashta, Polish tysiąc, Russian tysiacha, Czech tisic), and probably ultimately a compound with indefinite meaning "great multitude, several hundred," literally "swollen-hundred," with first element from PIE root *teue- (2) "to swell" (see thigh). Used to translate Greek khilias, Latin mille, hence the refinement into the precise modern meaning. There was no general Indo-European word for "thousand." Slang shortening thou first recorded 1867. Thousand island dressing (1916) presumably is named for the region of New York on the St. Lawrence River." |
