解説 Definition
York は、イングランド北部にある都市の名前です。歴史的な街として知られ、地名として使われます。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
地名なので通常は York と大文字で書き、「to York」「near York」「in York」の形で覚えます。イングランド北部の歴史都市で、Yorkshire や New York にも同じ名が残ります。語形は Eboracum、Eoforwic、Jorvik と時代ごとに変化したため、現代形だけから元の意味を推測しないのが安全です。
Remember York as a capitalized place name used with ordinary location patterns: people live “in York” or “near York,” and trains travel “to York.” It is a historic city in northern England and supplies the first element of familiar names such as Yorkshire and New York. Its spelling is the result of several historical reshaping stages, including Roman Eboracum, Old English Eoforwic, and Old Norse Jórvík. Because the modern short form hides that complex history, connecting it with a map, railway destination, and the related place names is more useful than guessing from its present spelling.

york の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ケルト語の Eborakon（イチイの木の場所）に由来し、ローマ時代に Eboracum としてラテン語化された。後にアングロサクソン人が古英語 Eoforwīc（猪の集落）と民間語源で再解釈し、さらにヴァイキングが古ノルド語風に Jórvík と変形させた。関連地名: New York, Yorkshire。
York has passed through several languages and reinterpretations. A Celtic name commonly reconstructed as Eborakon was Latinized by the Romans as Eboracum. In Old English it became Eoforwic, partly reinterpreted through words associated with a boar and a settlement. Scandinavian settlers later reshaped the name as Old Norse Jórvík, from which the modern form York developed. The name survives in related place names including Yorkshire and New York.
