wry 英文词源

wry

wry: [16] Wry means literally ‘twisted’ (many other English words beginning with wr-, such as wrist and writhe, share the same basic meaning). It comes from the now obsolete verb wry ‘deviate, twist’, which was descended from Old English wrīgian ‘turn, tend in a particular direction’. Wriggle [15] is probably related.
=> wriggle

Of words, thoughts, etc., from 1590s. The original sense is preserved in awry.
