annoy的词源
英文词源
- annoy
- annoy: [13] Annoy comes ultimately from the Latin phrase in odiō, literally ‘in hatred’, hence ‘odious’ (odiō was the ablative sense of odium, from which English got odious [14] and odium [17]). The phrase was turned into a verb in later Latin – inodiāre ‘make loathsome’ – which transferred to Old French as anuier or anoier (in modern French this has become ennuyer, whose noun ennui was borrowed into English in the mid 18th century in the sense ‘boredom’).
=> ennui, noisome, odious - annoy (v.)
- late 13c., from Anglo-French anuier, Old French enoiier, anuier "to weary, vex, anger; be troublesome or irksome to," from Late Latin inodiare "make loathsome," from Latin (esse) in odio "(it is to me) hateful," ablative of odium "hatred" (see odium). Earliest form of the word in English was as a noun, c. 1200, "feeling of irritation, displeasure, distaste." Related: Annoyed; annoying; annoyingly. Middle English also had annoyful and annoyous (both late 14c.).

在16至17世纪时annoy本是个军事用语，有“骚扰”、“破坏”等义，例如annoy a town，annoy the coast。其词源可以一直追溯到拉丁短语in odio‘in hatred’，但却是从法语anoier‘to weary，vex’演变而来，今多释义为“使烦恼”或“使恼怒”。法语借用词ennui（厌倦，无聊）和常用词noisome（讨厌的，令人不快的）也都出于此源，后者原先拼作annoysome。
拉丁语odium, odi(i), n(憎恨),夺格为odio,其在拉丁语中派生的动词有inodiare,经由古法语anuier/anoier进入英语为annoy。在现代法语中anuier/anoier已变为ennuyer,其名词形式为ennui,18世纪中期被英语借用。
