dainty词源中文解释

约于1300年, deinte,意为“令人愉悦的,令人满意的”(12世纪晚期作为姓氏出现),源自于 dainty(名词); 见下文。在中古英语中,其含义演变为“选择,卓越”(14世纪晚期)到“精致漂亮,展现出精湛的品味或技巧”(约1400年)。“挑剔,假装精细,软弱,女性化”的意义始于1570年代。相关词汇: Daintiness。

名词中古英语 deinte,意为“关注,感情”(13世纪中期),约于1300年作为“卓越,优雅”的意思; 也指“奢侈品,珍品,美食或美酒”; 源自于盎格鲁-法语 deinte,古法语 deintie(12世纪)“价格,价值”,也指“精致,愉悦”,源自于拉丁语 dignitatem(主格 dignitas)“伟大,地位,价值,美丽”,源自于 dignus “值得,适当,合适”,源自于 PIE *dek-no-,源自于词根 *dek- “接受,接纳”。
