thrive

• vi. 繁栄する。

中英語のthriven（繁栄する、栄える）から、原ゲルマン語*thribana（つかむ、繁栄させる）から、PIE*trep（満足させる、楽しませる）から、語源的には古代ギリシャ神話の歌と踊りの女神Terpsichoreと同じで、文字通り踊り子の楽しみ。

thrive

thrive: [13] Thrive was borrowed from Old Norse thrífask ‘grasp for oneself’, hence ‘prosper’, the reflexive form of thrífa ‘grasp, seize’ (whose origins are not known). The word’s semantic development from ‘grasp for oneself’ to ‘prosper’ was presumably inspired by the notion of ‘accumulating resources’. Thrift [13], borrowed from the Old Norse derivative thrift, originally meant ‘thriving’; the modern sense ‘frugality’ evolved in the 16th century – frugality being thought of as a prerequisite for prosperity.
