wish 英文词源

wish

wish: [OE] Wish comes from a prehistoric Germanic *wunskjan, which also produced German wünschen, Swedish önska, and Danish ønske. Its ultimate ancestor is the Indo-European base *wun-, *wen-, *won-, source also of English wean, ween ‘think, suppose’ [OE] (now archaic except in the derivative overweening [14]), the win- of winsome [OE], and wont ‘accustomed’, and of German wonne ‘joy’.
=> overweening, wean, winsome, wont

wish (v.)

Old English wyscan "to wish, cherish a desire," from Proto-Germanic *wunsk- (cognates: Old Norse œskja, Danish ønske, Swedish önska, Middle Dutch wonscen, Dutch wensen, Old High German wunsken, German wunschen "to wish"), from PIE *wen- (1) "to strive after, wish, desire, be satisfied" (cognates: Sanskrit vanati "he desires, loves, wins," Latin venus "love, sexual desire, loveliness," venerari "to worship;" see Venus). Related: Wished; wishing. Wishing well as an enchanted water hole attested by 1819.
