Middle English hore 中古英语 hore 2. from Old English h½re * see k³- 源自 古英语 h½re *参见 k³- 注释:Derivatives of Indo-European roots often make strange bedfellows. A prime example is the case of.k³-, “to like, desire.” From the stem.k³ro- derived from this root came the prehistoric Common Germanic word .h½raz with the underlying meaning “one who desires” and the effective meaning “adulterer.” From this word came the Old English wordh½re, the ancestor of Modern Englishwhore. The same stem produced the Latin wordc³rus, “dear,” from which came Modern Englishcaress, cherish, and charity, the highest form of love. Contact with East Indian culture has added yet another pair of derivatives from this Indo-European root to the English language.From the stem.k³mo- came the Sanskrit word k³ma&9{¡,} “love, desire,” from which are derived the English borrowingsKama, “the Hindu god of love,” andKamasutra, “a Sanskrit treatise on the rules of love and marriage according to Hindu law.” 从印欧语词根派生出的词常产生奇怪的词伴。一个很好的例子就是ko- “喜欢，渴望”。 从这个词根派生出karo 这个词干，然后又产生出史前共同日尔曼语的 horaz 一词，暗指“渴望…的人”，也含有显著的意义“通奸者”。 从这个词又产生古英语中的hore， 这是现代英语whore 的前身。 这一词干产生了拉丁词carus “亲爱的”， 又由它而引出现代英语中的caress,cherish 和 charity 这是爱的最高形式。 与东印度文化的接触又给英语语言加上了另外两个从这个印欧词根派生出的词。从词干kamo- 产生出梵语词 kamah “爱，欲望”， 从这个词又产生出英语的外来词Kama “印度人的爱神”， 和Kamasutra “根据印度法律所制定的关于爱情和婚姻的规定的梵语论述” |
