英文詞源
- born
- born: [OE] The Old English past participle of the verb meaning ‘bear’ was boren. By Middle English times this had become contracted to born(e), but no distinction in meaning was made on the basis of spelling. This did not come about until around 1600, since when born has become established as the obstetric orthography, while borne remains the straightforward past participle of bear ‘carry’.
=> bear - born
- Old English boren, alternative past participle of beran (see bear (v.)). Distinction between born and borne is 17c.
