throated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
throated は throat「喉」に形容詞を作る -ed を加えた語です。throat は古英語にさかのぼるゲルマン系の語です。現代英語では、喉や声の特徴を示す複合形容詞の後半として特によく用いられます。
Throated is formed from throat and the adjectival ending -ed, literally indicating something characterized by a throat or by a particular quality of throat-produced sound. Throat comes from Old English throte, with cognates in other Germanic languages. The word has long named the front or internal passage of the neck. English later created throated descriptions, especially compounds, for voices, calls, or animals distinguished by the throat or its sound.
