英文词源
- range
- range: [13] Range and rank come ultimately from the same source: Old French ranc. This was borrowed directly into English as rank, but it subsequently developed to rang, from which was derived the verb rangier ‘set in a row’ (ancestor of English arrange). This in turn produced the noun range ‘rank, row’.
=> rank - range (v.)
- c. 1200, rengen, "move over a large area, roam with the purpose of searching or hunting," from Old French ranger, earlier rengier "to place in a row, arrange; get into line," from reng "row, line," from a Germanic source (see rank (n.)). Sense of "to arrange in rows" is recorded from c. 1300; intransitive sense of "exist in a row or rows" is from c. 1600. Related: Ranged; ranging.
