meager词源中文解释

14世纪晚期, megre(12世纪晚期作为姓氏),指“瘦削的,消瘦的”(指人或动物),源自古法语 megre, maigre “瘦弱的”(12世纪),源自拉丁语 macrum(主格 macer)“瘦削的,消瘦的”(西班牙语、葡萄牙语和意大利语 magro 的来源),源自 PIE 词根 *mak- “长,瘦”。比较 emaciate。

早在15世纪初,物质事物(土地、食物等)也用此词。同源的日耳曼语词汇(古诺尔斯语 magr “瘦”,古高地德语 magar,德语 mager,中古荷兰语 magher,荷兰语 mager,古英语 mæger)直接来自 PIE 词根,通过原始日耳曼语 *magras,而非拉丁语。

meager词源英文解释

Middle English megre "thin, having little flesh from lack of food," borrowed from Anglo-French megre, maigre, going back to Latin macr-, macer "thin, lean, of little substance," going back to Indo-European *mh2ḱ-ro- "long, thin," whence also Germanic *magra- "lean" (whence Old English mæger "lean," Old High German magar, Old Norse magr), Greek makrós "long, tall, high, large"; derivative in *-ro-, adjective suffix, of a base *meh2ḱ-, *mh2ḱ- seen also in Latin maciēs "bodily thinness, wasting," Greek mêkos "length," mḗkistos "longest, highest," Avestan masah- "length, greatness," masišta- "highest," Hittite maklant- "thin, slim (of animals)" Note: Alternatively from Indo-European *maḱ- if a is accepted as a vowel, as the laryngeal h2 is invoked solely to produce the right vocalism.

The first known use of meager was in the 14th century
