dreary词源中文解释

古英语 dreorig “悲伤的,悲哀的”,最初的意思是“残忍的,血腥的,染血的”,来自 dreor “血腥,血液”,源自 (ge)dreosan(过去分词 droren)“下降,衰落,失败”,用于雨、雪、露水、水果和被杀的人,源自原始日耳曼语 *dreuzas(源头还包括古诺尔斯语 dreyrigr “血腥的,血淋淋的”,以及更遥远的古撒克逊语 drorag,中古高地德语 troric “血腥的”; 德语 traurig “悲伤的,悲哀的”),源自 PIE 词根 *dhreu- “下降,流动,滴下,垂下”(参见 drip(v.))。

这个词已经失去了最初的意义和“滴血”的概念。 “孤独的沮丧,阴暗的”一词最早见于1667年的《失乐园》,但古英语有一个相关的动词 drysmian “变得阴暗”。 “令人感到厌倦,单调乏味”的含义在1871年出现。 相关: Drearily。
