accentuated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 accentus（声の調子）から派生した動詞 accentuate の過去分詞形。ad-（～に向かって）+ cantus（歌）が語根で、「声を際立たせる→強調する」の意。音楽的な「歌い上げ」が転じて一般的な強調を意味するようになった。関連語: accent（アクセント）, chant（詠唱）。
Accentuated is the past participle of accentuate, formed by adding -d to the verb. Accentuate developed from accent and ultimately relates to Latin accentus, a term for vocal tone or emphasis. Accentus was modeled from ad-, “toward,” and cantus, “song,” from canere, “to sing.” The notion of giving prominence to a sound or syllable broadened into making any feature, contrast, or quality more noticeable.
