英文詞源
- future
- future: [14] Future comes via Old French future from Latin futūrus ‘going to be, about to be’, which was used as the future participle of esse ‘be’. It was a descendant of the Indo-European base *bheu- or *bhu-, which originally denoted ‘grow’, and also produced English be, the German present first and second person singular forms bin and bist, and the Latin perfect tense of esse (fuī ‘I was’, etc).
=> be - future (adj.)
- late 14c., "that is yet to be; pertaining to a time after the present," from Old French futur "future, to come" (13c.), from Latin futurus "going to be, yet to be," as a noun, "the future," irregular suppletive future participle of esse "to be," from PIE *bheue- (see be). In grammar, of tense, from 1520s.
- future (n.)
- "future events; time to come," late 14c., modeled on Latin futura, neuter plural of futurus (see future (adj.)).
