英語の語源


tutor
tutor: [14] A tutor is etymologically someone who ‘looks after’ another – indeed, it was originally used for a ‘guardian’ or ‘protector’: ‘The king … behested himself to be a tutor and defender of him and of his’, Foundation of St Bartholomew’s church 1425. The word’s educational connotations are a secondary development. It comes via Anglo-Norman tutour from Latin tūtor, a derivative of tuērī ‘look after, protect’. From the same source comes English tuition [15], and also tutelage [17], which retains its original sense of ‘guardianship’.
=> tuition, tutelage
tutor (n.)
late 14c., "guardian, custodian," from Old French tuteor "guardian, private teacher" (13c., Modern French tuteur), from Latin tutorem (nominative tutor) "guardian, watcher," from tutus, variant past participle of tueri "watch over," of uncertain origin, perhaps from PIE *teue- (1) "pay attention to" (see thews). Specific sense of "senior boy appointed to help a junior in his studies" is recorded from 1680s.
tutor (v.)
