ery
-ery接尾辞
解説 Definition
英語の接尾辞で、場所や実践、行為などを表す名詞を作成する際に使用される。「bravery」や「machinery」のように用いられる非標準的な語。
A written form of the noun-forming suffix -ery, found in words denoting a place, activity, practice, condition, collection, or characteristic, such as brewery, nursery, slavery, and bravery. Its precise contribution depends on the history and structure of each word.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
eryは単独語より接尾辞-eryとして捉える。breweryやnurseryでは場所、slaveryでは状態・制度、braveryでは性質を表す名詞を作る。ただし全語に同じ意味を機械的に当てはめず、語全体で覚える。人名Eryとは別の用法である。
Treat ery primarily as the ending -ery rather than as an independent everyday word. Build a small meaning map from familiar examples: a brewery is a place where beer is brewed, slavery is a condition or institution, and bravery is a quality. Nursery and machinery show that the ending cannot be assigned one rigid meaning in every word. The practical strategy is to notice that -ery often helps form nouns, then learn the complete word and its category. A personal name spelled Ery is a separate use and should not guide the analysis of the suffix.

ery の語源・成り立ち Etymology
英語圏の人名で、古ノルド語の要素や、ヘブライ語eri（עֵרִי、「見守る者」）に由来する説がある。エリカ（Erica）やエリック（Eric）の短縮形としても使われ、古ノルド語eiríkr（永遠の支配者）と関連する。
The ending -ery does not have one source in every English word. In many formations it reflects French -erie, while in others it can be analyzed as -er plus the noun-forming suffix -y. Consequently, its meanings range from places and occupations to practices, conditions, groups, and qualities. Ery can separately occur as a personal name or shortened name, with proposed origins unrelated to the English suffix; that personal-name history does not explain words such as brewery or bravery.
