英文词源


towards
towards: [OE] The suffix -ward or -wards, which underlies towards, forward, and a host of other English adverbs and adjectives, comes from a prehistoric Germanic *-warth. This in turn goes back to the Indo-European base *wert- ‘turn’ (source also of English convert, version, etc) – so etymologically, towards denotes ‘turning to’ something.
=> convert, version
towards (adv.)
Old English toweards, from toweard (adj.) "coming, facing, approaching" (see toward) + adverbial genitive ending.
