15世纪初,“独立存在,不在一起”,这个现在已经过时的意义,也是“少数的,特殊的”; 来自盎格鲁-法语 several,来自古法语 seperalis “分开”,来自中世纪拉丁语 separalis “可分离的”,来自拉丁语 separ “分开,不同”,是从 separare “拉开”的反构词,来自 se- “分开”(参见 secret(名词))+ parare “准备,准备好”(来自 PIE 根 *pere- (1)“生产,获得”)。
比较盎格鲁拉丁语 severalis, separalis 的变体。意思是“各种各样的,不同的”(如 went their several ways)可追溯到1500年左右; “不止一个”的意思来自1530年代,源于该词的法律含义,“分配给某些个体”(15世纪中叶)等。也在17世纪中叶用作“一个模糊的数词”(OED),其中任何“不同”的概念似乎已经丧失。相关: Severalty; severality; severalfold。玩笑的序数形式 severalth 可追溯到1902年的美国口语(参见 -th(2))。
HERE we are all, by day : By night w'are hurl'd
By dreames, each one, into a sev'rall world.
[Herrick, 1648]
白天我们都在这里:夜晚我们被投入到不同的世界。
[赫里克,1648]
