defensibleの覚え方:語源
defensibleの語源は、ラテン語の「defendere」に由来します。この「defendere」は「防ぐ」や「守る」という意味を持ち、そこに英語の接尾辞「-able」が付加されることで「防ぐことができる」「守れる」というニュアンスを持つ形容詞へと変化しました。英語では、「defend(防御する)」という動詞から派生して、この形容詞が形成されたと考えられます。defensibleという語は、主に法的な文脈で使用され、「論理的に防御可能な」とか「正当化可能な」といった意味合いで使われます。したがって、この語の成立には、語根となる動詞の意味が強く影響を与えています。歴史的に見ても、守ることや防御することに関する概念が強調される際に用いられる言葉であることが分かります。
