英文詞源
- oath (n.)
- Old English ae "oath, judicial swearing, solemn appeal to deity in witness of truth or a promise," from Proto-Germanic *aithaz (cognates: Old Norse eier, Swedish ed, Old Saxon, Old Frisian eth, Middle Dutch eet, Dutch eed, German eid, Gothic aits "oath"), from PIE *oi-to- "an oath" (cognates: Old Irish oeth "oath").
