单词 ownself
释义

ownselfpron.

Brit. /əʊnˈsɛlf/, U.S. /ˌoʊnˈsɛlf/, Caribbean English /ˌoːnˈsɛlf/
Forms: see own adj. and pron. and self pron.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: own adj., self n.
Etymology: < own adj. + self n., after himself pron. and n., etc. Compare self n. 1b. Compare1552 R. Huloet Abcedarium Anglico Latinum Thy owne selfe, te ipsum, temet. Compare also Old English use of āgenes selfes , genitive of āgen self , lit. ‘own self’) with preceding personal pronoun in the genitive (see quot. OE3 at hisself pron. and quot. OE2 at 'emself pron.).
Now chiefly regional (esp. U.S. (southern) and Caribbean).
With preceding possessive adjective (in early use also with pronoun in the objective case), forming a phrase equivalent to a pronoun ending in -self or -selves.My own self, our own selves, etc., are used both emphatically, in apposition to, or (occasionally) in the place of, a personal pronoun (cf. myself pron. 1 3, ourselves pron. 1, 2, etc.) and reflexively (cf. myself pron. 5, ourselves pron. 3, etc.).This construction is to be distinguished from other phrases with possessive followed by own self in which self functions as the noun head.
