英文词源
- thrill
- thrill: [13] Etymologically, thrill denotes ‘make a hole in’. It is a Middle English alteration of Old English thyrlian ‘pierce’, a derivative of thyrl ‘hole’ (source of the second syllable of nostril). And this in turn was formed from thurh ‘through’. The notion of ‘making a hole’ led in the 16th century to the metaphorical ‘pierce with emotion’, but the narrowing down of this to ‘fill with pleasure’ seems to be a comparatively recent development, from the late 19th century. Its earlier wider connotations are preserved in the derivative thriller ‘exciting story’ [19].
=> nostril, through - thrill (v.)
- early 14c., "to pierce, penetrate," metathesis of Old English þyrlian "to perforate, pierce," from þyrel "hole" (in Middle English, also "nostril"), from þurh "through" (compare Middle High German dürchel "pierced, perforated;" see through) + -el. Meaning "give a shivering, exciting feeling" is first recorded 1590s, via metaphoric notion of "pierce with emotion." Related: Thrilled; thrilling.
- thrill (n.)
- "a shivering, exciting feeling," 1670s, from thrill (v.). Meaning "a thrilling experience" is attested from 1936.
