Word Origins Dictionary
- thrust[thrust 词源字典]
- thrust: [12] Thrust was borrowed from Old Norse thrýsta ‘thrust, compress’. It probably goes back ultimately to the Indo-European base *trud- ‘push, press’, whose other descendants include Latin trūdere ‘thrust’ (source of English abstruse, intrude, etc) and probably also English threat.
[thrust etymology, thrust origin, 英语词源] - thrust (v.)
- late 12c., from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse þrysta "to thrust, force, press," from Proto-Germanic *thrustijanan, perhaps from PIE *treud- "push, press" (see threat), but OED finds this derivation doubtful. Related: Thrusting.
