carpatesとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

A foreign word of uncertain origin, but from the same source as Old Norse Harfaða-fjǫll (“Carpathian Mountains”), the first part possibly from Proto-Germanic *harbaþaz (“Carpathian”, name of a tribe?). Interestingly, the borrowing from or into Germanic appears to have taken place before Grimm's law and is thus very early, prior to Proto-Germanic proper. (Can this etymology be sourced?) Alternatively, from Illyrian or Proto-Albanian *karpātai (“mountanous place”). Compare in any case Carpi, the name of a tribe of the Carpathian region, perhaps Dacian in ethnicity. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
