thou词源中文解释

这是第二人称单数主格代词，源自古英语的 þu，来自原始日耳曼语的 *thu（也是古弗里西亚语的 thu，中荷兰语和中低德语的 du，古高德语和德语的 du，古诺尔斯语的 þu，哥特语的 þu 的来源），来自 PIE 的 *tu-，第二人称单数代词（也是拉丁语的 tu，爱尔兰语的 tu，威尔士语的 ti，希腊语的 su，立陶宛语的 tu，古教会斯拉夫语的 ty，梵语的 twa-m 的来源）。

在中古英语中，由复数形式的 you（来自另一个词根）取代，但在某些方言中保留（例如，早期贵格会）。最初，复数形式用于称呼地位较高的个体，后来也用于（为了避免失礼）称呼陌生人，最终用于称呼所有的平等个体。大约在1450年左右，使用 thou 来称呼地位较低的人会带有一种侮辱的意味，除非是父母对孩子，或者亲密的人对彼此说话。因此，动词的意思是"对一个人使用'thou'"（大约在15世纪中叶）。

Avaunt, caitiff, dost thou thou me! I am come of good kin, I tell thee!

["Hickscorner," c. 1530]

滚开，恶棍，你敢对我使用'thou'！我告诉你，我出身名门！

["Hickscorner," 大约1530年]
