synnとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Inherited from Proto-West Germanic *sunnju (“actuality, distress, concern”), from Proto-Germanic *sunjō (“truth, reality”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁es- (“to be”); with semantic influenced from similar sounding Proto-West Germanic *sundiju, *sundī, from Proto-Germanic *sundī (“crime, sin”).

Cognates include Old High German sunna (“justification”), Old Norse syn (“denial”), and Gothic 𐍃𐌿𐌽𐌾𐌰 (sunja, “truth”). Replaced the reflex of Proto-West Germanic *sundi, which provides the word for "sin" in most other West Germanic languages.
