英语词源
- lord

lord: [OE] It is a measure of the centrality of bread to human society that the word lord denotes etymologically ‘guardian of the loaf’. It goes back to a primitive Old English *khlaibward, a compound formed from *khlaib ‘loaf’ and *ward ‘guardian, keeper’ (ancestor of modern English ward). This gradually developed in Old English via hlāfweard to hlāford, and in the 14th century it lost its middle /v/ to become the single-syllable word we know today. Lady was likewise originally based on the word loaf.
=> guard, loaf, ward - lord (n.)
- mid-13c., laverd, loverd, from Old English hlaford "master of a household, ruler, superior," also "God" (translating Latin Dominus, though Old English drihten was used more often), earlier hlafweard, literally "one who guards the loaves," from hlaf "bread, loaf" (see loaf (n.)) + weard "keeper, guardian" (see ward (n.)). Compare lady (literally "bread-kneader"), and Old English hlafæta "household servant," literally "loaf-eater." Modern monosyllabic form emerged 14c. As an interjection from late 14c. Lord's Prayer is from 1540s. Lord of the Flies translates Beelzebub (q.v.) and was name of 1954 book by William Golding. To drink like a lord is from 1620s.
- lord (v.)
- c. 1300, "to exercise lordship," from lord (n.). Meaning "to play the lord, domineer" is late 14c. Related: Lorded; lording. To lord it is from 1570s.
