英文詞源
- vespers
- vespers: [17] Latin vesper meant ‘evening’, and like Greek hésperos it went back ultimately to Indo-European *wespero-. This was formed from a base *we- which denoted ‘down’ and also produced English west, so etymologically vesper signified ‘time when the sun goes down’. (Russian vecher ‘evening’ comes from another version of the same base.) English vespers itself goes back via Old French vespres to the plural of the variant Latin form vespera.
