forsとは 意味・読み方・使い方

発音

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /fors/, [fɔrs̠]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /fors/, [fɔrs]

語源 1

From Proto-Italic *fortis, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰértis (“the act of carrying”) (compare Old Irish brith, German Geburt, English bear, burden, Russian бремя (bremja, “burden”), брать (bratʹ, “to take”), Sanskrit भृति (bhṛti, “carrying”)), derivative of *bʰer-, whence also Latin ferō (“bring, carry”). For the semantic development, compare Proto-Germanic *buriz (“favorable wind”), from the same root.

名詞

fors f (genitive fortis); third declension

1. luck, chance
   • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 4.507:

     fors suā cuique locō est

     Luck: And each place has its own.
     (Ovid tells what happens when Ceres (mythology) visits a family living at a site later known as Eleusis. Although ‘‘fors’’ is sometimes translated as ‘‘destiny,’’ which may imply determination, Ovid's probable meaning is that of random chance; idiomatically, ‘‘good luck.’’)
