英文詞源
- sundry
- sundry: [OE] Sundry goes back to an Old English syndrig ‘apart, separate’. This, like sunder [OE], is descended ultimately from an Indo-European base *su-, denoting ‘separation’, which also produced Latin sine ‘without’, Welsh hanner ‘half’, and German sondern ‘but’.
- sundry (adj.)
- Old English syndrig "separate, apart, special, various, distinct, characteristic," from sundor "separately, apart, asunder" (see sunder) + -y (2). Compare Old High German suntaric, Swedish s?ndrig "broken, tattered." Meaning "several" is from 1375. As a noun, from mid-13c. with the sense "various ones." Phrase all and sundry is from late 14c.
