英文词源
- message
- message: [13] Etymologically, a message is something that is ‘sent’. The word comes via Old French message from Vulgar Latin *missāticum, a derivative of the Latin verb mittere (from which English also gets admit, mission, transmit, etc). Messenger [13] comes from the Old French derivative messager, and was originally messager in English; the n is a 14thcentury intruder, found also in such words as harbinger and passenger.
=> admit, commit, mess, mission, permit - message (n.)
- c. 1300, "communication transmitted via a messenger," from Old French message "message, news, tidings, embassy" (11c.), from Medieval Latin missaticum, from Latin missus "a sending away, sending, despatching; a throwing, hurling," noun use of past participle of mittere "to send" (see mission). The Latin word is glossed in Old English by ?rende. Specific religious sense of "divinely inspired communication via a prophet" (1540s) led to transferred sense of "the broad meaning (of something)," first attested 1828. To get the message "understand" is from 1960.
- message (v.)
- "to send messages," 1580s, from message (n.). Related: Messaged; messaging.
