eschew的词源

英文词源

eschew: eschew: [14] Eschew is ultimately of Germanic origin, although it reached English via French. Its remote ancestor is prehistoric Germanic *skeukhwaz, source also of English shy. A verb based on this, *skeukhwan, was borrowed into Vulgar Latin as *skīvāre, which in Old French became eschiver or eschuer – whence English eschew. An Old Northern French variant of the Old French form, eskiuer, gave English skew [14] (which originally meant ‘escape’), while modern French esquiver ‘dodge’ (actually a reborrowing from Italian schivare rather than a direct descendant of Old French eschiver) could be the source of English skive [20], a probable borrowing by British servicemen in France during World War I.
=> skew, skive
