英语词源
- praise
-
praise: [13] Despite a certain similarity in form and meaning, praise has no connection with pray. It comes ultimately from Latin pretium ‘price’, which has also given English precious, price, prize, etc. From it was derived the late Latin verb pretiāre ‘value highly, praise’, which English acquired via Old French preisier.
=> precious, price, prize - praise (v.)
- c. 1300, "to laud, commend, flatter," from Old French preisier, variant of prisier "to praise, value," from Late Latin preciare, earlier pretiare (see price (n.)). Replaced Old English lof, hreþ.
Specifically with God as an object from late 14c. Related: Praised; praising. Now a verb in most Germanic languages (German preis, Danish pris, etc.), but only in English is it differentiated in form from cognate price. - praise (n.)
- early 14c., not common until 16c., from praise (v.).
