英語の語源


remain
remain: [14] Latin manēre meant ‘stay’ (it has given English manor, mansion, permanent [15], etc). Combination with the prefix re- ‘back, in place’ produced remanēre ‘stay behind, remain’, which passed into English via Old French remanoir. Its present participle gave English remnant [14]. A variant of remanoir was remaindre, which is the source of English remainder [15].
=> manor, mansion, permanent, remnant
remain (v.)
early 15c., from Anglo-French remayn-, Old French remain-, stressed stem of remanoir "stay, dwell, remain; be left; hold out," from Latin remanere "to remain, to stay behind; be left behind; endure, abide, last" (source also of Spanish remaner, Italian rimanere), from re- "back" (see re-) + manere "to stay, remain" (see mansion). Related: Remained; remaining.
remain (n.)
"those left over or surviving," mid-15c., from Middle French remain, back-formation from Old French remanoir, remaindre, or else formed in Middle English from remain (v.). But the more usual noun in English has been remainder except in remains, euphemism for "corpse," attested from c. 1700, from mortal remains.
