hoarse

• adj.
• 嗄れ嗄れ

古英語のhos、hoarseから。原語ゲルマン語の*haisa、hoarseに由来し、乾いた咳の音を模倣したものと思われる。

hoarse (adj.)

late 14c., hors, earlier hos, from Old English has "hoarse," from Proto-Germanic *haisa- (cognates: Old Saxon hes, Old Norse hass, Dutch hees, Old High German heisi, German heiser "hoarse"), perhaps originally meaning "dried out, rough." The -r- is difficult to explain; it is first attested c. 1400, but it may indicate an unrecorded Old English variant *hars. Related: Hoarsely; hoarseness.
