Words of Old Norse origin have entered the English language, primarily from the contact between Old Norse and Old English during colonisation of eastern and northern England between the mid 9th to the 11th centuries (see also Danelaw). Many of these words are part of English core vocabulary, such as ''egg'' or ''knife''. There are hundreds such words, and the list below does not aim at completeness. To be distinguished from loanwords which date back to the Old English period are modern Old Norse loans originating in the context of Old Norse philology, such as ''kenning'' (1871), 〔 There was a native Old English ''cenning'' "declaration" (in Middle English "cognition"), derived from the verb ''to ken'' The Old Norse ''kenning'' "set expression in early Germanic poetry" was loaned in 19th-century Germanic philology independently of the native word. 〕 and loans from modern Icelandic (such as ''geyser'', 1781). Yet another (rare) class are loans from Old Norse into Old French, which via Anglo-Norman were then indirectly loaned into Middle English; an example is ''flâneur'', via French from the Old Norse verb ''flana'' "to wander aimlessly". ==A== ;ado: influenced by Norse "at" ("to", infinitive marker) which was used with English "do" in certain English dialects〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=ado )〕 ;aloft: * ''á'' ("=in, on, to") + ''lopt'' ("=air, atmosphere, sky, heaven, upper floor, loft")〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=aloft )〕 * English provenance = c 1200 AD ;anger: * ''angr'' ("=trouble, affliction"); root ''ang'' (="strait, straitened, troubled")〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=anger )〕 * English provenance = c 1250 AD ;awe: * ''agi'' ("=terror")〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=awe )〕 * English provenance = c 1205 AD (as ''(unicode:aȝe)'', an early form of the word resulting from the influence of Old Norse on an existing Anglo-Saxon form, ''(unicode:eȝe)'') ;are: merger of Old English (''earun'', ''earon'') and Old Norse (''er'') cognates〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=are )〕 ;auk: A type of Arctic seabird. ;awkward: the first element is from Old Norse ''ǫfugr'' ("=turned-backward"), the '-ward' part is from Old English ''weard''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=awkward )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of English words of Old Norse origin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
