古英语 lengðu “在一个方向上长或延伸的属性; 沿着一条线的距离”,源自原始日耳曼语 *langitho,抽象名词,来自 *langaz “长”(古英语 lang 的词根; 参见 long(形容词))+ *-itho,抽象名词后缀(参见 -th(2))。同源于古诺尔斯语 lengd,古弗里西亚语 lengethe,荷兰语 lengte。
“一个人走的距离,某物被带到的极限”的比喻意义始于1690年代。短语 at length “到最大程度”最早见于约1500年。作为“游泳池的长度”,始于1903年。从“任何事物的一部分或部分的长度”这一概念中,衍生出戏剧俚语意义上的“演员角色的42行部分”(1736年)和体育意义上的“马、车等在比赛中的长度”作为一种度量单位(1650年代)。
