单词 certie
释义

certien.

Brit. /ˈsəːti/, U.S. /ˈsərdi/, Scottish English /ˈsɛrtɪ/
Forms: Also certy.
Etymology: In my certies, which is in use as well as my certie, the word may be identical with certes, taken as a plural noun, of which certie would be the assumed singular. But the history of the phrase is not clear; and it is difficult to say whether by my certy (certes) is genuine, or merely a literary ‘improvement’.
Scottish.
Chiefly in phrase, my certie, as an ejaculation: By my faith, in good troth.[Some have suggested a corruption of the French mais certes ‘but certainly’; of this there is no evidence.]
ΘΚΠ
the mind > language > malediction > oaths > [interjection] > religious oaths (referring to God) > (originally) with reference to faith
