wid
幅
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
wid は現代標準英語の一般名詞ではなく、主に表やコードなどで width「幅」を短く示す省略形として理解する。wide は形容詞「広い」、width は -th を伴う名詞「幅」で、long→length、broad→breadth と同じ寸法語の系列に置くと覚えやすい。通常の文章では width を選ぶ。
Treat wid as a compact label for width rather than as the normal English noun for “breadth.” You may encounter it in a database field, diagram, table heading, or piece of code where short labels save space. For ordinary sentences, write width. Connect the forms wide and width: wide is the adjective, while width names the measurement. The change resembles broad to breadth and long to length, although each pair has its own historical spelling and pronunciation. This contrast helps you remember both the intended meaning of wid and its restricted, abbreviated status.

wid の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 widu / wid（広い）に由来し、width は wide の名詞形として -th 接尾辞で形成された。wid はその短縮形。関連語：wide（広い）、breadth（幅、broad + -th と同じ造語法）。形容詞に -th を付けて寸法を表す英語の典型的パターン。
Wid is best understood in modern use as a shortening or technical abbreviation of width, not as an established general replacement for it. Width is the noun related to wide and continues Old English forms built from the adjective with a noun-forming element corresponding to modern -th. Similar inherited measurement pairs include broad and breadth, and long and length. Because abbreviations vary by system or author, the meaning of wid should be confirmed from context when it appears as a label or field name.
