eliminated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語eliminare（戸口の外へ追い出す）が語源。ex-（外へ）+limen（敷居・戸口）に分解でき、「敷居の外に出す→取り除く」という意味が生まれた。関連語：preliminary（敷居の前の→予備の）、limit。
Eliminated is the past tense and past participle of eliminate. Eliminate comes from Latin eliminare, meaning to turn out of doors or expel. That verb is associated with ex-, “out,” and limen, “threshold.” The physical image of sending something beyond the threshold developed into the broader modern senses of removing an unwanted item, abolishing a rule, or ending a competitor’s participation.
