chesenとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From 古期英語 ċēosan, from Proto-West Germanic *keusan, from Proto-Germanic *keusaną, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵews-.

The usual variant with /eː/ shows the regular development of the 古期英語 diphthong, while the rarer variant with /oː/ (the source of the modern form) is from a variant pronunciation in which the stress was shifted to the diphthong's second element. Compare scheten, which has similar variation between /eː/ and /oː/ after a palatal consonant.
