中古英语 eilen, ailen, "麻烦,折磨,伤害",源自古英语 eglan "麻烦,折磨,困扰",源自原始日耳曼语 *azljaz(也是古英语 egle "丑陋的,可憎的,麻烦的,痛苦的"; 哥特语 agls "可耻的,丢脸的", agliþa "痛苦,折磨,困苦", us-agljan "压迫,折磨"),源自原始印欧语 *agh-lo-,是词根 *agh-(1)"沮丧,害怕" 的带后缀形式。相关词汇: Ailed; ailing; ails。
从古英语晚期开始,也用于描述心理状态和情绪。短语 what ails you? "你怎么了?你为什么那样行为?" 可追溯至公元1300年(what eileth the?)
It is remarkable, that this word is never used but with some indefinite term, or the word no thing; as What ails him? ... Thus we never say, a fever ails him. [Johnson]
值得注意的是,这个词只与某些不确定的术语或词语 no thing 一起使用,例如 What ails 他?...因此我们从不说,发烧 ails 他。[约翰逊]
Verb Middle English eilen, eilien "to trouble, afflict, affect (with animate or inanimate agent), be troubled, affected," going back to Old English eglan, eglian "to torment, afflict (with animate or inanimate agent)," going back to Germanic *agljan- (whence also Norwegian egle "to bait, goad, heckle," Danish dialect [Jutland] egle "to goad," [Bornholm] ägla "to scold," Gothic agljan, translating Greek bláptein "to harm, hurt"), of uncertain origin Note: The Germanic etymon has been compared with an assortment of words inside and outside Germanic, most immediately and unarguably with Old English egle "grievous, painful, loathsome, horrible," Gothic agls, attested only as neuter singular agl, translating Greek aischrós "causing shame, disgraceful," and Gothic aglo, translating Greek thlípsis "tribulation." These have been compared further with Sanskrit agháḥ "evil, bad," Avestan aγa-, and Greek áchnymai, achnýnai "to grieve, lament," áchos "pain, distress." All these have been taken as progeny of an Indo-European base *h2egh-, hypothetically "distress, fear," connected further with Old English ege "fear, terror," Gothic agis, Old Norse agi (see awe >entry 1). However, the semantic link between the basic Germanic set (exemplified by Old English eglan and egle) and the other words is tenuous. Noun Middle English eil "harm, trouble," perhaps in part going back to an Old English noun *ægl, *ægle, n-stem noun cognate with Gothic aglo "tribulation," derivative of a Germanic adjective agla-, whence Old English egle "grievous, painful"; in part noun derivative of Middle English eilen "to trouble, afflict" and eile "harmful, grievous" (continuing Old English egle) — more at ail >entry 1
