many是什么意思

many

英 ['men?] 美 ['m?ni]

many 許多

來(lái)自古英語(yǔ)manig,許多，來(lái)自Proto-Germanic*managaz,來(lái)自PIE*menegh,大量的，可能來(lái)自PIE*mo,辛勞，努力，勞作，詞源同mole,more,most.

many: many: [OE] Many goes back ultimately to Indo- European *monogho-, *menogho-, which also produced Russian mnogij ‘many’ and Welsh mynych ‘often’. From it was descended prehistoric Germanic *managaz, *manigaz, which have differentiated into German manch, Dutch menig, Swedish m?nga, Danish mange, and English many. The pronunciation /meni/ dates from the 13th century; it perhaps arose from association with the unrelated any. The derived manifold [OE] preserves the original pronunciation.
=> manifold
