英文词源
- rot
- rot: [OE] Rot goes back to a prehistoric Germanic *rutjan, which also produced Dutch rotten. It may be related ultimately to Latin rudis ‘rough’, source of English rude. The adjective rotten [13] was borrowed from Old Norse rotinn, which came from the same Germanic stem as produced *rutjan. The mild imprecation drat [19] is a conflation of God and rot.
=> rude - rot (v.)
- Old English rotian "to decay, putrefy," from Proto-Germanic *rutjan (cognates: Old Saxon roton, Old Norse rotna, Old Frisian rotia, Middle Dutch roten, Dutch rotten, Old High German rozzen "to rot," German r??en "to steep flax"), from stem *rut-. Related: Rotted; rotting.
- rot (n.)
- early 14c., from rot (v.) or of Scandinavian origin (compare Icelandic rot, Swedish r?ta, Danish r?de "decay, putrefaction"), from the root of the verb. Slang noun sense of "rubbish, trash" is from 1848.
