| 词汇 | rue |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： 1. rue (v.) "feel regret," O.E. hreowan "make sorry, grieve" (class II strong verb; past tense hreaw, pp. hrowen), from P.Gmc. *khrewanan (cf. O.Fris. riowa, M.Du. rouwen, O.D. hrewan, Ger. rewen); in part, blended with O.E. weak v. hreowian "feel pain or sorrow," and perhaps influenced by O.N. hryggja "make sad," both from P.Gmc. *khruwjanan, from the same root. The noun meaning "sorrow, repentance" is from O.E. hreow, from the verb. 2. rue (n.) "perennial evergreen shrub," late 14c., from O.Fr. rue, earlier rude, from L. ruta "rue," probably from Gk. rhyte, of uncertain etymology, originally a Peloponnesian word. The bitter taste of its leaves led to many punning allusions to the noun form of rue (v.). |
