14世纪晚期,“降低等级等”来自古法语 abaissier “减少,使价值或地位降低; 自我降低”,字面意思是“弯曲,向下倾斜”,源自通俗拉丁语 *ad bassiare “降低”,由 ad “到,朝向”(见 ad-)和晚期拉丁语 bassus “低,矮”(见 base(形容词))组成。
16世纪时,受 base(形容词)的影响,英语中的形式发生了改变,使这个词成为一个例外,即古法语动词词干为 -iss- 的词汇进入英语时通常为 -ish(理解可能起到了作用; 早期的 abase 形式通常与 abash 的形式相同)。字面意义上的“降低,压抑”(15世纪晚期)已经过时或废弃。相关: Abased; abasing。
alteration (conformed to base >entry 3) of Middle English abessen, abaisen, abaschen, borrowed from Anglo-French abesser, abaisser, from a-, prefix in transitive verbs (going back to Latin ad-) + -besser, going back to Vulgar Latin *bassiāre "to lower," derivative of Late Latin bassus "fat, short, low" — more at ad-, base >entry 3
The first known use of abase was in the 14th century
