piteous词源中文解释

大约公元1300年, pitous,意为“慈悲的,充满怜悯”(这种意义现已过时; OED 的最后一条引用是在1855年); 同时也表示“引起或值得怜悯,如令人悲伤的,令人悲痛的”,源自盎格鲁-法语 pitous,古法语 pitos, piteus “虔诚的,慈悲的,富有怜悯心的; 可怜的”(12c.,现代法语 piteux ),源自中世纪拉丁语 pietosus “慈悲的,可怜的”(还有西班牙语 piadoso ),在通俗拉丁语中意为“恭敬的”,源自拉丁语 pietas “恭敬的行为,怜悯”(见 piety )。此外,中古英语中也意味着“虔诚的,正直的,敬虔的”。由于某些不规律的发展形式,法语单词的正确音韵发展应该是 *pitous (根据 OED)。相关词汇: Piteously; piteousness 。
