strangle 英文词源


strangle
strangle: [13] Strangle comes via Old French estrangler and Latin strangulāre from Greek straggalān ‘strangle’. This was related to straggós ‘twisted’, and has more distant links with English string and strong – the common semantic denominator being ‘stiffness, tautness’.
=> string, strong
strangle (v.)
late 13c., from Old French estrangler "choke, suffocate, throttle" (Modern French étrangler), from Latin strangulare "to choke, stifle, check, constrain," from Greek strangalan "to choke, twist," from strangale "a halter, cord, lace," related to strangos "twisted," from PIE root *strenk- "tight, narrow; pull tight, twist" (see string (n.)). Related: Strangled; strangling.
