英文詞源
- disdain
- disdain: [14] Disdain comes via Old French desdeigner from *disdignāre, a Vulgar Latin alteration of Latin dēdignāri ‘scorn’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix dē- ‘un-, not’ and dignāre ‘consider worthy’ (source of English deign [13]).
=> dainty, deign, dignity - disdain (v.)
- late 14c., from Old French desdeignier "disdain, scorn, refuse, repudiate," from des- "do the opposite of" (see dis-) + deignier "treat as worthy" (see deign). Related: Disdained; disdaining.
- disdain (n.)
- mid-14c., desdegne "scorn, contempt," earlier dedeyne "offended dignity" (c. 1300), from Old French desdeigne, from desdeignier (see disdain (v.)). Sometimes in early Modern English shortened to sdain, sdainful. Related: disdainful; disdainfully.
