英語の語源


dew
dew: [OE] Dew is an ancient word, which can be traced back to the Indo-European base *dheu-; this also produced Greek thein ‘run’ and Sanskrit dhāv ‘flow, wash’ (whence, via Hindi, English dhobi ‘Indian washerman’ [19]) and dhaūtís ‘brook’. Its Germanic descendant was *dauwaz, which produced (besides English dew) German tau, Dutch dauw, and Swedish dagg.
=> dhobi
dew (n.)
Old English deaw, from Proto-Germanic *dawwaz (cognates: Old Saxon dau, Old Frisian daw, Middle Dutch dau, Old High German tau, German Tau, Old Norse d?gg "dew"), from PIE root *dheu- (2) "to flow" (cognates: Sanskrit dhavate "flows, runs").
