語源

Inherited from 古期英語 dryhten, from Proto-West Germanic *druhtin, from Proto-Germanic *druhtinaz.

Perhaps due to standardised "church usage", this word consistently has /i/ even in dialects where 古期英語 /y/ is retained or becomes /ɛ/; already in 古期英語, the form drihten is very common. The loss of /n/ is parallel to that in e.g. mayde, while forms with /iː/ in the second syllable have been attributed to association with almyghten, almyghtyn (/alˈmixtən/, /alˈmixtiːn/, ← 古期英語 ælmihtiġan, ælmihtiġne, ælmihtiġum)). But while almyghten may have exerted some influence, it cannot be the only cause of second-syllable /iː/ in this word as forms such as drightin are found in dialects which have reflexes of ælmæhtiġ (e.g. Orm 's allmahhtiȝ but Drihhtin), while it fails to explain forms of Cristen such as cristin (/krisˈtiːn/); therefore, the influence of Old French -in and its etymon Latin -īnus is probable.

発音

IPA: /drixˈtiːn/, /ˈdrixtiːn/ (especially Northern or North Midland)
IPA: /ˈdrixtən/ (especially Early Middle English, Northern, or North Midland)
