单词 tauen
释义

tauen

German

Etymology

From late Middle High German touwen (to thaw; to dew), a merger of (1.) earlier touwen (to dew), from Old High German touwōn, derived from tou (whence modern Tau), from Proto-Germanic *dawwą; and (2.) Middle High German douwen (to thaw), from Old High German thouwen, from Proto-Germanic *þawjaną. The merger started in Central German dialects, many of which had d- in both verbs. Verb 1 is cognate with English dew, verb 2 with thaw; see these for more.
