英语词源

tidy
tidy: [13] Tidy originally meant ‘timely, seasonable’ (it was a derivative of tide, in the now superannuated sense ‘time, season’). It early on evolved metaphorically to ‘goodlooking’, and hence ‘good’, but the modern sense ‘neat’ did not emerge until the 18th century. Titivate [19] may have been based on tidy.
=> tide, titivate
tidy (v.)
"to make neat, set in order," 1821, from tidy (adj.). Related: Tidied; tidying.
tidy (adj.)
mid-13c., "in good condition, healthy," probably originally "in season, timely, opportune, excellent" (though this sense is not attested until mid-14c.), from tide (n.) in the sense of "season, time" + -y (2). Of persons, "of neat and orderly habits," from 1706. Similar formation in Old High German zitig, German zeitig, Dutch tijdig, Danish tidig "timely," Old English tidlic "temporal," also "timely, seasonable."
