schittenとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Inherited from 古期英語 sċyttan, from Proto-West Germanic *skuttjan, from *skut (“a border, a divider”) +‎ *-jan.

Forms showing the development /y/ to /ɛ/ are more widely dispersed and less prone to being displaced by those showing a development to /i/ during the 中期英語 period, undoubtedly to avoid an embarrassing homophony with schite (“shit”); this also accounts for forms influenced by scheten (continued in schute). West Midland and Southern forms with /u/ (hence modern shut) represent a retraction of /y/ after /ʃ/.

発音

• IPA: /ˈʃitən/
• IPA: /ˈʃɛtən/ (especially East Anglia, East Saxon, Kent, Southeast Midland)
• IPA: /ˈʃutən/ (West Midland, Southern), /ʃut/ (Yorkshire)
• IPA: /ˈʃeːtən/, /ˈʃoːtən/ (influenced by scheten)
