英文詞源
- find
- find: [OE] Find is a widespread Germanic verb, with relations in German (finden), Dutch (vinden), Swedish (finna), and Danish (finde). Further back in time, however, its ancestry is disputed. Some have connected it with various words for ‘path, way’ in Indo-European languages, such as Sanskrit panthās and Russian put’, and with related forms denoting ‘go, journey’, like Old Saxon fāthi ‘going’ and Old High German fendeo ‘walker’; others have suggested a link with Latin petere ‘seek’.
- find (v.)
- Old English findan "come upon, meet with; discover; obtain by search or study" (class III strong verb; past tense fand, past participle funden), from Proto-Germanic *finthan "to come upon, discover" (cognates: Old Saxon findan, Old Frisian finda, Old Norse finna, Middle Dutch vinden, Old High German findan, German finden, Gothic fintan), originally "to come upon."
The Germanic word is from PIE root *pent- "to tread, go" (cognates: Old High German fendeo "pedestrian;" Sanskrit panthah "path, way;" Avestan panta "way;" Greek pontos "open sea," patein "to tread, walk;" Latin pons (genitive pontis) "bridge;" Old Church Slavonic poti "path," peta "heel;" Russian put' "path, way").
To find out "to discover by scrutiny" is from 1550s (Middle English had a verb, outfinden, c. 1300). - find (n.)
- "person or thing discovered, discovery of something valuable," 1825, from find (v.).
