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 ærende. 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.
