单词 goodly
释义

goodlyadj.

Brit. /ˈɡʊdli/, U.S. /ˈɡʊdli/
Forms: see good adj., n., adv., and int. and -ly suffix1.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with, or formed similarly to, Old Frisian gōdelīk friendly, benevolent, kind, suitable, appropriate, Middle Dutch goedelijc , goelijc good-looking, pleasant, friendly, kind, suitable, appropriate (Dutch goelijk friendly, kind, †good-looking), Old Saxon gōdlīk praiseworthy, excellent, magnificent (Middle Low German gōtlīk , gōdelīk excellent, magnificent, friendly, kind, benevolent), Old High German guotlīh excellent, honourable, notable, glorious (Middle High German guotlīch , güetlīch , German gütlich ) < the Germanic base of good adj. + the Germanic base of -ly suffix1.The following examples have sometimes been taken as showing this word, but are perhaps more likely to show an otherwise unattested adjective guthlich warlike, valiant, noble, excellent ( < the reflex of Old English gūþ war, battle, combat (assumed to be the base of other rare formations in Laȝamon; compare guth-strength n.) + -ly suffix1):c1275 (?a1200) Laȝamon Brut (Calig.) (1963) l. 432 Þat folc com to-gadere gudliche cnihtes [c1300 Otho cuþþie meyes].?a1300 Dame Sirith l. 5 in G. H. McKnight Middle Eng. Humorous Tales (1913) 1 Wis he wes of lore, And gouþlich vnder gore, And cloþed in fair sroud.Compare discussion at goodly adv., goodful adj., and see B. D. H. Miller in Notes & Queries 204 (1959) 432–3).

goodlyadv.

Brit. /ˈɡʊdli/, U.S. /ˈɡʊdli/
Forms: see good adj., n., adv., and int. and -ly suffix2; also early Middle English goðliche (probably transmission error).
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: good adj., -ly suffix2.
Etymology: < good adj. + -ly suffix2. Compare Old Frisian gōdlike , Middle Dutch goedelīke , goetlīke (Dutch goeilijk ), Old Saxon gōdlīko (Middle Low German gōtlīke , gōtlīken ), Old High German guotlīcho (Middle High German guotlīche , güetlīche , German gütlich ), chiefly in sense ‘in a kindly, gentle, or friendly manner’. Compare earlier goodly adj., and also earlier well adv.The form guðliche in the following quotation may show an isolated use of an otherwise unattested adverb guthliche in a warlike manner ( < a reflex of Old English gūþ war, battle, combat (see guth-strength n.) + -ly suffix2; compare discussion at goodly adj., goodful adj.):c1275 (?a1200) Laȝamon Brut (Calig.) (1963) l. 51 Tuenti gode scipen. he guðliche fulde. The form goðliche in quot. c1275 at sense 2a (also in Laȝamon) probably simply reflects scribal confusion of ð and d.
Now rare.
