英語の語源


shanty
shanty: English has two distinct words shanty. The older, ‘shack’ [19], originated in America, and the fact that to begin with it was mainly used for the houses of Irish immigrants suggests that it may have come from Irish sean tig ‘old house’. Shanty ‘sailor’s song’ [19] probably comes from chantez, the imperative plural of French chanter ‘sing’.
=> canto, chant
shanty (n.1)
"rough cabin," 1820, from Canadian French chantier "lumberjack's headquarters," in French, "timberyard, dock," from Old French chantier "gantry," from Latin cantherius "rafter, frame" (see gantry). Shanty Irish in reference to the Irish underclass in the U.S., is from 1928 (title of a book by Jim Tully).
shanty (n.2)
"sea song," 1867, alternative spelling of chanty (n.).
