英語の語源


parent
parent: [15] Latin parere meant ‘bring forth, give birth’. Its present participle was used to form a noun, parēns, which denoted literally ‘one who gives life to another’, hence a ‘mother’ or ‘father’. Its stem form parent- passed into English via Old French parent. Other English descendants of Latin parere (which is related to prepare) include parturition ‘giving birth, labour’ [17], puerperal (a compound containing Latin puer ‘child’), and viviparous ‘giving birth to live young’ [17].
