road的词源
英文词源
- road
- road: [OE] Road comes from the same ultimate source as ride – and indeed in the Old English period it meant either simply ‘riding’ or ‘hostile incursion on horseback’ (a sense preserved in inroads [16] and also in raid, which is historically the same word as road). By the 14th century the sense ‘sheltered anchorage’ (now represented by the plural roads) had emerged, but the central modern meaning ‘track for traffic’ did not put in an appearance until the late 16th century (hitherto the main words for expressing this concept had been way and street).
=> inroads, raid, ride - road (n.)
- Old English rad "riding expedition, journey, hostile incursion," from Proto-Germanic *raido (cognates: Old Frisian red "ride," Old Saxon reda, Middle Dutch rede, Old High German reita "foray, raid"), from PIE *reidh- "to ride" (see ride (v.)). Also related to raid (n.). In Middle English, "a riding, a journey;" sense of "open way for traveling between two places" is first recorded 1590s. Meaning "narrow stretch of sheltered water" is from early 14c. (as in Hampton Roads in Virginia).
Modern spelling established 18c. In 19c. U.S. use, often meaning "railroad." On the road "travelling" is from 1640s. Road test (n.) is from 1906; as a verb from 1937. Road hog is attested from 1886; road rage is from 1988. Road map is from 1786; road trip is by 1950, originally of baseball teams. Old English had radwerig "weary of travelling."
中文词源
road（马路）：供骑马行走的路
road一词在英语里泛指“路”时，相当于汉语里的“马路”。“马路”可以指供车马行走的道路，也可以指一般的路。而road的祖先恰好也同“马”有关。
Road在古英语中写作rad，是从ridan（即“ride”，骑马）一词演变来的，rad就是“供骑马行走的路”，也就是“马路”。
尽管中国的“马路”上并不一定有马，英国的“road”上也不一定有骑马的人，然而我们都这样习惯的叫下去。
