英語の語源


method
method: [16] Method comes via French méthode and Latin methodus from Greek méthodos, which meant ‘pursuit’. It was a compound noun formed from the prefix metá- ‘after’ and hodós ‘way, journey’ (found also in English episode, exodus, and period). ‘Pursuit’ of a particular objective gradually developed into a ‘procedure for attaining it’, the meaning which the word had when it reached English. The derivative methodist [16], originally simply ‘someone who followed a particular method’, was first applied to the followers of John Wesley in the 18th century.
=> episode, exodus, period
method (n.)
early 15c., "regular, systematic treatment of disease," from Latin methodus "way of teaching or going," from Greek methodos "scientific inquiry, method of inquiry, investigation," originally "pursuit, a following after," from meta- "after" (see meta-) + hodos "a traveling, way" (see cede). Meaning "way of doing anything" is from 1580s; that of "orderliness, regularity" is from 1610s. In reference to a theory of acting associated with Russian director Konstantin Stanislavsky, it is attested from 1923.
