英語の語源


technical
technical: [17] Greek tékhnē denoted ‘skill, art, craft, trade’ (it may have come from the Indo- European base *tek- ‘shape, make’, which also produced Greek téktōn ‘carpenter, builder’, source of English architect and tectonic [17]). From it was derived the adjective tekhnikós, which passed into English via Latin technicus as technic (now obsolete) and technical. Technique [19] comes from a noun use of the French adjective technique ‘technical’. From the same source come technicolour [20], based on the trademark Technicolor (registered in 1929), and technology [17].
=> architect, technique, tectonic, text
technical (adj.)
1610s, "skilled in a particular art or subject," formed in English from technic + -al (1), or in part from Greek tekhnikos "of art; systematic," in reference to persons "skillful, artistic," from tekhne "art, skill, craft" (see techno-).

The sense narrowed to "having to do with the mechanical arts" (1727). Basketball technical foul (one which does not involve contact between opponents) is recorded from 1934. Boxing technical knock-out (one in which the loser is not knocked out) is recorded from 1921; abbreviation TKO is from 1940s. Technical difficulty is from 1805.
