英語の語源


surge
surge: [15] Latin surgere meant literally ‘lead up from below’, hence ‘rise’ – it originated as a compound verb formed from the prefix sub- ‘up from below’ and regere ‘rule’, hence ‘lead’ (source of English regiment, region, etc). English acquired it via Old Spanish surgir and Old French sourgir, by which time it had taken on watery associations, of waves heaving. Surgere also produced English resource [17], resurrection [13], and source.
=> insurgent, rector, regiment, region, resource, resurrection, source
surge (n.)
late 15c., "fountain, stream," of uncertain origin, probably from Middle French sourge-, stem of sourdre "to rise, swell," from Latin surgere "to rise, arise, get up, mount up, ascend; attack," contraction of surrigere, from assimilated form of sub "up from below" (see sub-) + regere "to keep straight, guide" (see regal). Meaning "high, rolling swell of water" is from 1520s; figurative sense of "excited rising up" (as of feelings) is from 1510s.
surge (v.)
1510s, "to rise and fall," from surge (n.), or from Middle French surgir "rise, ride (as a ship does a wave), spring up, arrive." Meaning "rise high and roll forcefully" is from 1560s. Related: Surged; surging.
