loveから生まれた英単語

PIE root *leubh- *リューベ =love ;lief; liev; lib; love
以下の単語はインド・ヨーロッパ原語で "気にかける、望む、愛する "を意味するloveから生まれました。

「relief」は、「love」の印欧祖語の語源から直接来ていない興味深い言葉ですが、その語源はまだ非常に興味をそそられます。
lief:ラテン語の「levare」に由来し、「上げる」を意味し、「明るくする」または「緩和する」に関連しています。ここでの感覚は、負担を軽減したり、何かを軽くしたりして、救済を提供することです。したがって、「救済」という言葉は、愛や愛情の概念に直接関係するのではなく、負担やストレスを軽減または軽減するという考えを含みます。

    "Relief" is an interesting word that does not directly come from the Proto-Indo-European root for "love," but its etymology is still quite intriguing.

lief: derived from the Latin "levare," meaning "to raise," which is related to "lighten" or "alleviate." The sense here is of lifting a burden or making something lighter, thus providing relief.
The word "relief" thus involves the idea of alleviating or lightening a burden or stress, rather than being directly related to the concept of love or affection.
