scyanとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Proto-West Germanic *skiuhijan (“to put to flight, startle, frighten”), from Proto-Germanic *skeuhaz (“shy”). Cognate with 古期英語 sċyhhan, Old High German *scūhen attested in scūhenti. Compare Middle Low German schü̂wen, schûwen, schûen (“to fear, shun, avoid”), Middle High German schiuhen, schiuwen, schūen, schūhen (“to fear, scare, frighten”).

Possibly related to 古期英語 sċyndan from Proto-Germanic *skundijaną. It may be backformed in the present tense from the alternative form scȳhtan (scȳhte in the preterite), from Proto-Germanic *skūhtijaną, itself perhaps from the from an unattested Proto-Germanic *skūhtiz (see tyht and tyhtan for a similar pattern).
