mickle
語源
From Middle English mickle, michel, mikel, mochel, muchel, mukel (“much; many; large, tall; great”), from 古期英語 miċel, myċel (“big, large; great; much”),[1] both from Proto-Germanic *mikilaz (“great, large; many, much”), from Proto-Indo-European *méǵh₂s (“big, great”). The word is cognate with Icelandic mikill (“large in quantity または number; much; great”). Doublet of much and muckle.
For the adverb and noun forms, compare Middle English muchel (“extensively, greatly, much”, adverb)[2] and Middle English muchel (“large amount”, noun).[3]
The noun sense “a small amount” was due to the proverb many a little makes a mickle being incorrectly rendered as many a mickle makes a muckle, leading to mickle being thought to mean “a small quantity” and muckle to mean “a large quantity”, even though muckle is a variant of mickle and both mean “a large quantity”.[4]
