pulcherとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Uncertain. Traditionaly derived from Proto-Indo-European *perḱ-ro-, from the root *perḱ- (“motley, variegated”), with dissimilation of the first *-r- into *-l-,^[1][2] though this has been challenged.^[3] Connection with poliō (“to polish, smooth”) or polleō (“to be strong”) is to be excluded.^[2] The aspiration is often considered secondary when the word would have been made to derive from Ancient Greek πολύχρους (polúkhrous) by folk etymology,^{[n 1][5][4]} while an Etruscan borrowing is usually discarded.^[5][2]
