bathe 語源

bathe（ベイず）「水を浴びる」の単語DNAはBETH(べす）「暖かな」です。このBETH（べす）がこの単語の何千年も前の姿。それが徐々に綴りや発音、また意味も変わりつつ現代のbatheにたどり着いたみたい。意味の変化だけ見ると「暖かさ」→「水浴び」の変化。

Today, I want to talk about outdoor bathing. In Japan, we call this "gyozui." I often do this in summer. Long ago, many people did gyozui because it was cheap. It uses the sun's heat, which is usually wasted.
