中文詞源
hoarse 沙啞的來自古英語hos,沙啞的，來自Proto-Germanic*haisa,沙啞的，可能是模仿幹咳的聲音。
英文詞源
- hoarse (adj.)
- late 14c., hors, earlier hos, from Old English has "hoarse," from Proto-Germanic *haisa- (cognates: Old Saxon hes, Old Norse hass, Dutch hees, Old High German heisi, German heiser "hoarse"), perhaps originally meaning "dried out, rough." The -r- is difficult to explain; it is first attested c. 1400, but it may indicate an unrecorded Old English variant *hars. Related: Hoarsely; hoarseness.
