※ 引述《icedoctor (永远躲得远远)》之铭言：
: 这个字的意思是卧病在床
: bed是床 rid是除去
: 把床除去怎麽会是卧病在床呢?
: 不懂...
Dictionary.com:
[Origin: bef. 1000; ME bedrede, OE bedreda, bedrida, equiv. to bed bed +
-rida rider, akin to ride]
American Heritage Dictionary:
[Middle English bedreden, from Old English bedrida : bed, bed; see bed +
rida, rider (from rīdan, to ride; see ride).]
所以应该是来自ride而非rid……
rid
c.1200, from O.N. ryðja (past tense ruddi, past participle ruddr) "to clear
(land) of obstructions," from P.Gmc. *reudijanan (cf. O.H.G. riuten, Ger.
reuten "to clear land," O.Fris. rothia "to clear," O.E. -royd "clearing,"
common in northern place names). The general sense of "to make (something)
free (of something else)" emerged by 1565. Senses merged somewhat with
Northern Eng., Scot., and U.S. dial redd. Riddance is attested from 1535.
