smith 鐵匠

來自古英語 smith,鐵匠，工匠，來自 Proto-Germanic*smithaz,鐵匠，工匠，來自 PIE*smi,砍，切，擊。

smith: smith: [OE] Smith is a general Germanic word, with relatives in German schmied, Dutch smid, and Swedish and Danish smed. These point back to a prehistoric Germanic ancestor *smithaz. This appears to have meant simply ‘worker, craftsman’, a sense which survived into Old Norse smithr. The specialization to ‘metalworker’ is a secondary development.
smith (n.): Old English smie "blacksmith, armorer, one who works in metal" (jewelers as well as blacksmiths), more broadly, "handicraftsman, practitioner of skilled manual arts" (also including carpenters), from Proto-Germanic *smithaz "skilled worker" (cognates: Old Saxon smith, Old Norse smier, Danish smed, Old Frisian smith, Old High German smid, German Schmied, Gothic -smita, in aiza-smita "coppersmith"), from PIE root *smi- "to cut, work with a sharp instrument" (cognates: Greek smile "knife, chisel"). Attested as a surname since at least c.975.
smith (v.): Old English smieian "to forge, fabricate, design," from the source of smith (n.). Related: Smithed; smithing.
