livelong 整个的

来自中古英语leve longe,长久的,leve,爱,即love,此处表强调义,longe,长,即long.后受live影响拼写俗化。

livelong (adj.)
also live-long, c. 1400, lefe longe (day), from leve, lief "dear" (see lief), used here as an emotional intensive + long (adj). From late 16c. conformed in spelling to live (v.) as lief grew strange. German has cognate die liebe lange Nacht, literally "the dear long night."
