英文词源


weary
weary: [OE] Weary is descended from a West Germanic *wōriga, whose other offspring have all died out. It was formed from the base *wōr-, which also produced Old English wōrian ‘wander, totter’ and Old Norse örr ‘mad’, but its ultimate ancestry is uncertain.
weary (adj.)
Old English werig "tired, exhausted; miserable, sad," related to worian "to wander, totter," from Proto-Germanic *worigaz (cognates: Old Saxon worig "weary," Old High German wuorag "intoxicated"), of unknown origin.
weary (v.)
Old English wergian "to be or become tired" (intransitive), gewergian "to exhaust, to make tired" (transitive), from the source of weary (adj.). Related: Wearied; wearying.
