Targeとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From 中期英語 targe, either:

• from Old French targe, from Frankish *targā (“buckler”);

or

• from 古期英語 targa (masculine) and targe (feminine);

both ultimately from Old Norse targa (“round shield”) from Proto-Germanic *targǭ (“edge”), from Proto-Indo-European *derǵʰ- (“fenced lot”). Akin to Old High German zarga (“side wall, rim”) (German Zarge (“border, frame”)). However, the soft -g- seems to indicate a French origin.
