sonata

• n.ソナタ

イタリア語のsonata「音を出す」から、*sonatusの女性名詞、sonareの過去分詞「音を出す」、「反響する」、語源はsoundと同じ、後に形容詞から名詞へ、辞書的意味のsonataの派生。

sonata

sonata: see sound

sonata (n.)

1690s, from Italian sonata "piece of instrumental music," literally "sounded" (i.e. "played on an instrument," as opposed to cantata "sung"), fem. past participle of sonare "to sound," from Latin sonare "to sound," from PIE *swene-, from root *swen- "to sound" (see sound (n.1)). Meaning narrowed by mid-18c. toward application to large-scale works in three or four movements.
