英文詞源
- reek
- reek: [OE] Reek originally meant ‘smoke’ (Edinburgh was called Auld [old] Reekie because of its smoky chimneys, not because it smelled). The word came from a prehistoric Germanic *raukiz, which also produced German rauch, Dutch rook, Swedish r?k, and Danish r?k, all meaning ‘smoke’. It is likely that it was related to Latin ructāre ‘spew out’ (source of English eructate [17]), in which case the etymological notion underlying reek ‘smoke’ is of something ‘belching’ out. The English sense ‘bad smell’ emerged in the 17th century.
=> eructate - reek (n.)
- Old English rec (Anglian), riec (West Saxon), "smoke from burning material," probably from a Scandinavian source such as Old Norse reykr, Danish r?g, Swedish r?k "smoke, steam," from Proto-Germanic *raukiz (cognates: Old Frisian rek, Middle Dutch rooc, Old High German rouh, German Rauch "smoke, steam"), from PIE *reug- "to vomit, belch;" also "smoke, cloud." Sense of "stench" is attested 1650s, via the notion of "that which rises" (compare reek (v.)).
- reek (v.)
- Old English recan (Anglian), reocan (West Saxon) "emit smoke," from Proto-Germanic *reukan (cognates: Old Frisian reka "smoke," Middle Dutch roken, Dutch rieken "to smoke," Old High German riohhan "to smoke, steam," German rauchen "to smoke," riechen "to smell").
Originally a strong verb, with past tense reac, past participle gereocen, but occasionally showing weak conjugation in Old English. Meaning "to emit smoke;" meaning "to emit a bad smell" is recorded from 1710 via sense "be heated and perspiring" (early 15c.). Related: Reeked; reeking.
