unworkableの覚え方:語源
unworkableの語源は、英語の「work」と接頭辞「un-」から成り立っています。「work」という単語は、「働く」「機能する」「効果的に運営される」といった意味を持っており、手段や方法が機能することを表します。一方、「un-」は否定の意味を持つ接頭辞で、後に続く言葉を否定する役割があります。したがって、「unworkable」は「機能しない」「実行不可能な」という意味を持つことになります。 この単語は、特定の状況や条件の下で、計画やアイデアが実行できないことや、その実現が困難であることを示す際に使われます。つまり、「work」の持つ「働く」というポジティブな意味合いが「un-」によって覆され、逆の意味合いを持つ語となるのです。歴史的には、英語において「work」は古英語の「weorc」に由来し、ゲルマン語派に起源を持つ言葉です。このように、unworkableはもともとの言葉の意味を基にした造語であり、現代英語でも広く使われています。
