teutonesとは 意味・読み方・使い方

別の表記

• Teutonī

語源

Probably from a Celtic or Germanic ethnonym meaning “the people” or “the tribe”, from Proto-Indo-European *tewtéh₂ (“people, tribe”).

Compare Proto-Celtic *toutā (“people, tribe”), Gothic 𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰 (þiuda, “people”), 古期英語 þēod (“people, nation”), and German Deutsch. The recorded Latin and Greek forms with initial T- do not correspond directly to later Proto-Germanic *þeudō (“people”), and may reflect Celtic mediation, an early pre-Grimm Germanic form, or classical adaptation. More at Teutons.

固有名詞

Teutonēs m pl (genitive Teutonum); third declension

1. The Teutons, an ancient tribe associated with the Cimbri and defeated by the Romans under Gaius Marius
