Nguồn gốc của từ vựng say

Từ "say" có một lịch sử hấp dẫn. Việc sử dụng sớm nhất được ghi chép của "say" có từ tiếng Anh cổ, khoảng thế kỷ thứ 9. Nó bắt nguồn từ "sehan" trong tiếng Đức nguyên thủy, có nghĩa là "nhìn thấy" hoặc "chiêm ngưỡng". Nghĩa của "seeing" hoặc "perceiving" này được cho là đã phát triển thành nghĩa của "uttering" hoặc "speaking" theo thời gian. Trong tiếng Anh cổ, "say" được sử dụng như một động từ có nghĩa là "khẳng định" hoặc "tuyên bố", thường theo nghĩa trang trọng hoặc chính thức. Ví dụ, một vị vua có thể nói từ phán xét hoặc một giám mục có thể nói từ xá tội. Khi tiếng Anh trung đại phát triển, ý nghĩa của "say" được mở rộng để bao gồm cả cuộc trò chuyện thông thường hoặc lời nói hàng ngày. Ngày nay, "say" có thể được sử dụng theo nhiều cách, từ việc bày tỏ ý kiến hoặc suy nghĩ đến việc trích dẫn ai đó hoặc điều gì đó. Bất chấp sự phát triển của nó, ý nghĩa gốc của "seeing" hoặc "perceiving" vẫn còn tồn tại, ngụ ý mối liên hệ giữa việc nói và việc hiểu.
