英文词源

y

y: English has basically two words y, although one of them has * virtually split into two. The auxiliary verb y [OE] goes back ultitely to the Indo-European base *mogh-, *megh-, denoting ‘power, ability’, which also produced English chine, in, and might. Its Gernic descendant *gan lies behind Gern and Dutch g, Swedish må, and Danish a as well as English y.

The compound ybe dates from the 15th century, and disy is also related. May the month-ne [13] comes via Old French i from Latin Maius. This was originally an adjective meaning ‘of Maia’, Maia being a Ron goess and wife of Vulcan (her ne y go back to the se source as Latin gnus ‘large’, and hence denote ‘growth’ or ‘increase’).

In the month of May the hawthorn comes into flower, and so in the 16th century the tree received the ne y.
=> disy, chine, in, might

y (v.1)

Old English mæg " able" (infinitive gan, past tense meahte, mihte), from Proto-Gernic root *g-, infinitive *ganan (Old Frisian mei/muga/chte "have power, y;" Old Saxon g/mugan/hte; Mile Dutch ch/moghen/mohte; Dutch g/mogen/mocht; Old High Gern g/gan/hta; Gern g/mögen/mochte; Old Norse /mega/tte; Gothic g/gan/hte "to be able"), from PIE *gh- (1) "to be able, have power" (cognates: Greek mekhos, khos "means, instrument," Old Church Slavonic mogo "to be able," mosti "power, force," Sanskrit han "great"). Also used in Old English as a "auxiliary of prediction."

May

fifth month, early 12c., from Old French i and directly from Latin Majus, Maius mensis "month of May," possibly from Maja, Maia, a Ron earth goess (wife of Vulcan) whose ne is of unk*n origin; possibly from PIE *g-ya "she who is great," fem. suffixed form of root *meg- "great" (cognate with Latin gnus). Replaced Old English þrimilce, month in which cows can be milked three times a day. May rriages have been considered unlucky at least since Ovid's day. May-apple attested from 1733, American English.

y (v.2)

"to take part in May Day festivities," late 15c., from May. Related: Mayed; ying.
