Middle English hore
中古英語 hore
from Old English hôre * see k3-
源自 古英語 hôre *參見 k3-

<注釋>Derivatives of Indo-European roots often make strange bedfellows. A prime example is the case of.k3-, .to like, desire.. From the stem.k3ro- derived from this root came the prehistoric Common Germanic word .hôraz with the underlying meaning .one who desires. and the effective meaning .adulterer.. From this word came the Old English wordhôre, the ancestor of Modern Englishwhore. The same stem produced the Latin wordc3rus, .dear,. from which came Modern Englishcaress, cherish, and charity, the highest form of love. Contact with East Indian culture has added yet another pair of derivatives from this Indo-European root to the English language.From the stem.k3mo- came the Sanskrit word k3maô, .love, desire,. from which are derived the English borrowingsKama, .the Hindu god of love,. andKamasutra, .a Sanskrit treatise on the rules of love and marriage according to Hindu law..
從印歐語詞根派生出的詞常產(chǎn)生奇怪的詞伴。一個很好的例子就是ko- .喜歡，渴望.。 從這個詞根派生出karo 這個詞干，然后又產(chǎn)生出史前共同日爾曼語的 horaz 一詞，暗指.渴望…的人.，也含有顯著的意義.通奸者.。 從這個詞又產(chǎn)生古英語中的hore， 這是現(xiàn)代英語whore 的前身。 這一詞干產(chǎn)生了拉丁詞carus .親愛的.， 又由它而引出現(xiàn)代英語中的caress,cherish 和 charity 這是愛的最高形式。 與東印度文化的接觸又給英語語言加上了另外兩個從這個印歐詞根派生出的詞。從詞干kamo- 產(chǎn)生出梵語詞 kamah .愛，欲望.， 從這個詞又產(chǎn)生出英語的外來詞Kama .印度人的愛神.， 和Kamasutra .根據(jù)印度法律所制定的關(guān)于愛情和婚姻的規(guī)定的梵語論述.
