英文詞源
- thatch
- thatch: [OE] To thatch a building is etymologically to ‘cover’ it; the notion of ‘straw’ is a secondary development. The word goes back ultimately to the Indo-European base *tog-, *teg- ‘cover’ (source also of English detect, integument, protect, tile, and toga). Its Germanic descendant was *thak- (source of German dach ‘roof’ and English deck). From this was derived *thakjan, which gave English thatch.
=> deck, detect, integument, protect, thug, tile, toga - thatch (v.)
- late 14c., thecchen, from Old English teccan "to cover, cover over, conceal," in late Old English specifically "cover the roof of a house," related to t?c "roof, thatching material," from Proto-Germanic *thakan (cognates: Old Saxon thekkian, Old Norse tekja, Old Frisian thekka, Middle Dutch decken, Dutch dekken, Old High German decchen, German decken "to cover"), from PIE *(s)teg- (2) "to cover" (see stegosaurus).
- thatch (n.)
