英文词源
- such
- such: [OE] Etymologically, such means ‘so formed’. It comes from a prehistoric Germanic compound formed from *swa ‘so’ (ancestor of English so) and *līk- ‘form, body’ (source of English like). This reached Old English as swylc, which gradually lost its l and w and evolved into modern English such. Amongst its Germanic relatives are German solch, Dutch zulk, Swedish silk, and Danish slig.
=> like, so - such (adj.)
- c. 1200, Old English swylc, swilc "just as, as, in like manner; as if, as though; such a one, he" (pronoun and adjective), from a Proto-Germanic compound *swalikaz "so formed" (cognates: Old Saxon sulik, Old Norse slikr, Old Frisian selik, Middle Dutch selc, Dutch zulk, Old High German sulih, German solch, Gothic swaleiks), from swa "so" (see so) + *likan "form," source of Old English gelic "similar" (see like (adj.)). Colloquial suchlike (early 15c.) is pleonastic.
