hittenとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Inherited from 古期英語 hyttan (“to come upon”), from Old Norse hitta, from Proto-Germanic *hittijaną (“to come upon”), from Proto-Indo-European *kh₂eyd- (“to fall upon”).

Both 古期英語 hyttan and its 中期英語 reflexes point to 古期英語 /y/ in this word; possibly it was initially borrowed into a variety which had unrounded /y/ to /i/, then received /y/ in other varieties by analogy with native words where /y/ corresponded to /i/ in unrounding varieties.
