词汇 | behoof |
词根词缀 | 词源: c.1200, "use, benefit, advantage;" O.E. had bihoflic "useful," implying *bihof "advantage, utility;" from P.Gmc. *bihafjan (cf. O.Fris. bihof, Du. behoef, M.H.G. bihuof, Ger. behuf "benefit, use, advantage"). In the common Germanic compound, the first element is cognate with be- and the second with O.E. hof, past tense of hebban "to raise" (see heave). The original sense is perhaps, then, "taking up (for oneself)." |
