liege
英 [li?d?]
美 [lid?]
- n. 君主；臣民
- adj. 君主的；君臣關(guān)系的
助記提示
1. 該詞可能與let同源。
2. probably from PIE root *le- "let go, slacken" (see let (v.)).
3. 可能由此表示在封建制度中的那種具有較大自由度的但必須要臣服于君主的這種關(guān)系的相關(guān)含義。
4. 當(dāng)然，如果你要將其與ligare "bind"聯(lián)系起來(lái)(lig- => lieg- + -e)，表示在封建制度中的那種對(duì)其進(jìn)行一定束縛的關(guān)系也可以，只是缺乏根據(jù)性，這只是一種缺乏實(shí)據(jù)性的猜測(cè)，但如果有助于理解記憶單詞的話，也可以。
中文詞源
liege 君主，領(lǐng)主，臣民來(lái)自古法語(yǔ)lige,封建君主，領(lǐng)主，來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ)laetus,仆人，奴隸，可能來(lái)自PIE*le,松開，放開，詞源同let.原指給予一定自由的仆人，兼具有臣民和君主兩個(gè)對(duì)立的詞義，原用做臣子對(duì)君主的敬稱，大致類似于“主啊，奴才告退”之類。
英文詞源
- liege (adj.)
- word used by a vassal to address his superior or lord in the feudal system, c. 1300, from Anglo-French lige (late 13c.), Old French lige "(feudal) liege, free, giving or receiving fidelity," perhaps from Late Latin laeticus "cultivated by serfs," from laetus "serf," which probably is from Proto-Germanic *lethiga- "freed" (cognates: Old English l?t "half-freedman, serf;" Old High German laz, Old Frisian lethar "freedman"), from PIE root *le- "let go, slacken" (see let (v.)). Or the Middle English word may be directly from Old High German leidig "free." As a noun from late 14c., both as "vassal" and "lord." Hence, liege-man "a vassal sworn to the service and support of a lord, who in turn is obliged to protect him" (mid-14c.).
