单词 wine
释义

winen.1

Brit. /wʌɪn/, U.S. /waɪn/
Forms: Old English–Middle English win, (Middle English uin), Middle English–1500s wyn, Middle English–1500s (1600s Scottish) wyne (Middle English wyin, vyn, Middle English wijn(e, Middle English, 1500s Scottish vyne, Middle English wynne, wyen(e, wyyn(e, wiyn, whyne, whyene, 1500s Scottish wynn, vine), Middle English– wine.
Etymology: Old English wín = Old Frisian, Old Saxon, Middle Low German, Middle Dutch wîn (Dutch wijn), Old High German, Middle High German wîn (German wein), Old Norse vín (Swedish, Danish vin), Gothic wein < Old Germanic *wīnom, < Latin vīnum, the source also of the Balto-Slavonic (Old Church Slavonic vino, Lithuanian vỹnas) and Celtic words (Irish fín, Welsh gwîn). Latin vīnum is primitively related to Greek ϝοῖνος, οἶνος wine, οἴνη vine, wine, Albanian vēne, Armenian gini, which according to some scholars are all derived from a common Mediterranean source, while according to others prim. Armenian *woiniyo (Armenian gini) is the immediate origin of the Greek, Latin, and Albanian words; the nature of the connection of the Indo-European words with the Semitic (Arabic, Ethiopic wain, Hebrew yayin, Assyrian înu) is disputed.
