wrist 英文词源


wrist
wrist: [OE] The wrist is etymologically the ‘twisting’ joint. The word goes back to prehistoric Germanic *wristiz, which also produced German rist ‘instep, wrist’ and Swedish vrist ‘instep, ankle’. This was derived from the base *writh-, whose wr- sound seems originally to have been symbolic of the action of twisting. Variants of the base lie behind English wreath [OE], wrest [OE], and writhe [OE]; and gaiter may be related.
=> wreath, wrest, writhe
wrist (n.)
Old English wrist, from Proto-Germanic *wristiz (cognates: Old Norse rist "instep," Old Frisian wrist, Middle Dutch wrist, German Rist "back of the hand, instep"), from Proto-Germanic *wreik- "to turn" (see wry). The notion is "the turning joint." Wrist-watch is from 1889. Wrist-band is from 1570s as a part of a sleeve, 1969 as a perspiration absorber.
