英文词源
- tithe
- tithe: [OE] Originally, tithe meant simply a ‘tenth’ – a sense that has revived somewhat in recent years. The specific application to a ‘ten per-cent levy on annual production, paid to the Church’ dates from the 12th century. It comes from Old English tēotha ‘tenth’ (the modern English form tenth arose in the 12th century, through the influence of ten).
=> ten - tithe (n.)
- a tenth part (originally of produce) due as support of the clergy, c. 1200, from Old English teogoþa (Anglian), teoþa (West Saxon) "tenth," from Proto-Germanic *teguntha, from PIE *dekmto-, from *dekm "ten" (see ten). Retained in ecclesiastical sense while the form was replaced in ordinal use by tenth.
- tithe (v.)
- Old English teoþian "to pay one-tenth," from the root of tithe (n.). As "to impose a payment of a tenth," late 14c. Related: Tithed; tithing.
