a feeling of embarrassment and annoyance because one has failed or been disappointed; mortification

verb transitive

to cause to feel chagrin; embarrass and annoy; mortify

chagrin (n.)
1650s, “melancholy,” from French chagrin “melancholy, anxiety, vexation” (14c.), from Old North French chagreiner or Angevin dialect chagraigner “sadden,” which is of unknown origin, perhaps [Gamillscheg] from Old French graignier “grieve over, be angry,” from graigne “sadness, resentment, grief, vexation,” from graim “sorrowful,” which is perhaps from a Germanic source (compare Old High German gram “angry, fierce”).

But OED and other sources trace it to an identical Old French word, borrowed into English phonetically as shagreen, meaning “rough skin or hide” (the connecting notion being “roughness, harshness”), which is itself of uncertain origin. Modern sense of “feeling of irritation from disappointment, mortification or mental pain from the failure of aims or plans” is from 1716.

The town of Chagrin Falls in northeastern Ohio, U.S., was founded 1837 and named for the nearby falls of the Chagrin River. The source of the river name is uncertain; it might be a corruption of Seguin, the name of a Frenchman who is said to have established a trading post nearby in the 1740s.

잘못을 깨닫게 하다, 훈계하다

verb transitive

to punish in order to correct or make better; chastise
to restrain from excess; subdue

chasten (v.)
“inflict trouble or pain on for the purpose of correction,” 1520s, with -en (1) + the word it replaced, obsolete verb chaste “to correct (someone’s) behavior” (Middle English chastien, c. 1200), from Old French chastiier “to punish” (see chastise). Now chiefly in reference to moral discipline, divine rather than corporal punishment. Related: Chastened; chastening.

chauvinism (n.)
1840, “exaggerated, blind nationalism; patriotism degenerated into a vice,” from French chauvinisme (1839), from the character Nicholas Chauvin, soldier of Napoleon’s Grand Armee, who idolized Napoleon and the Empire long after it was history, in the Cogniards’ popular 1831 vaudeville “La Cocarde Tricolore.” Meaning extended to “excessive belief in the superiority of one’s race” late 19c. in communist jargon, to (male) “sexism” late 1960s via male chauvinism (q.v.).

The name is a French form of Latin Calvinus and thus Calvinism and chauvinism are, etymologically, twins. The name was a common one in Napoleon’s army, and if there was a real person at the base of the character in the play, he has not been certainly identified by etymologists, though memoirs of Waterloo (one published in Paris in 1822) mention “one of our principal piqueurs, named Chauvin, who had returned with Napoleon from Elba,” which implies loyalty.

adjective

used to check or verify
having a crisscross pattern; checked

check (n.1)
c. 1300, in chess, “a call noting one’s move has placed his opponent’s king (or another major piece) in immediate peril,” from Old French eschequier “a check at chess” (also “chess board, chess set”), from eschec “the game of chess; chessboard; check; checkmate,” from Vulgar Latin *scaccus, from Arabic shah, from Persian shah “king,” the principal piece in a chess game (see shah; also compare checkmate (n.)). Also c. 1300 in a generalized sense, “harmful incident or event, hostile environment.”

As “an exposure of the king to a direct attack from an opposing piece” early 15c. When his king is in check, a player’s choices are severely limited. From that notion come the many extended senses: From the notion of “a sudden stoppage, hindrance, restraint” (1510s) comes that of “act or means of checking or restraining,” also “means of detecting or exposing or preventing error; a check against forgery or alteration.

“Hence: “a counter-register as a token of ownership used to check against, and prevent, loss or theft” (as in hat check, etc.), 1812. Hence also the financial use for “written order for money drawn on a bank, money draft” (1798, often spelled cheque), which was probably influenced by exchequer. Hence also “mark put against names or items on a list indicating they have been verified or otherwise examined” (by 1856).

Meaning “restaurant bill” is from 1869. Checking account is attested from 1897, American English. Blank check in the figurative sense is attested by 1849 (compare carte blanche). Checks and balances is from 1782, perhaps originally suggesting machinery.

check (n.2)
“pattern of squares in alternating colors,” c. 1400, short for checker (n.1). As a fabric having such a pattern from 1610s.

check (v.1)
late 15c., in chess, “to attack the king; to put (the opponent’s king) in check;” earlier (late 14c.) in a figurative sense, “to stop, arrest; block, barricade;” from check (n.1) or Old French eschequier, from the noun in French. A player in chess limits his opponent’s ability to move when he places his opponent’s king in check.

The other senses seem all to have developed from the chess sense, or from the noun: “To arrest, stop,” then “to hold in restraint” (1620s); “to hold up or control” (an assertion, a person, etc.) by comparison with some authority or record (1690s); of baggage, etc., “to hand over in return for a check that serves as a means of identifying” (1846); “to note with a mark as having been examined, etc., mark off from a list” (1928).

Hence, to check off (1839); to check up (1889); to check in or out (in a hotel, of a library book, etc., by 1918). To check out (something) “to look at, investigate” is from 1959. Related: Checked; checking.

check (v.2)
“mark like a chessboard, incise with a pattern of squares or checks,” early 15c., from Old French eschequier (v.), from the noun in French (see check (n.1)). Related: Checking.

cherish

[ˈtʃɛrɪʃ]

소중히 여기다

verb transitive

to hold dear; feel or show love for
to take good care of; protect; foster
to cling to the idea or feeling of

cherish (v.)
early 14c., cherischen, “hold as dear, treat with tenderness and affection,” from Old French cheriss-, present participle stem of chierir “to hold dear” (12c., Modern French chérir), from chier “dear,” from Latin carus “dear, costly, beloved” (from PIE root *ka- “to like, desire”). The Latin word also is the source of Italian, Spanish, Portuguese caro; Old Provençal, Catalan car. Meaning “indulge and encourage in the mind” is from late 14c. Related: Cherished; cherishing.

chic

[ʃik]

세련된, 우아한

noun

said esp. of women or their clothes
smart elegance of style and manner

adjective

stylish in a smart, pleasing way

chic (n.)
1856, “style in fine art, artistic skill, faculty of producing excellence rapidly and easily,” from French chic “stylishness” (19c.), originally “subtlety” (16c.), which is of unknown origin. Perhaps [Klein] it is related to German Schick, Geschick “tact, skill, aptness,” from Middle Low German schikken “arrange appropriately,” or Middle High German schicken “to arrange, set in order.” Or perhaps it is from French chicane, from chicanerie “trickery” (see chicanery).

Meaning “Parisian elegance and stylishness combined with originality” is by 1882 (“Pall Mall Gazette,” 1888, calls it “an untranslatable word, denoting an indispensable quality”). As an adjective, in reference to persons, “stylish,” 1879 in English. “Not so used in F[rench]” [OED].

chicanery

[ʃɪˈkeɪnəri]

속임수

noun

the use of clever but tricky talk or action to deceive, evade, etc., as in legal dealings
an instance of this

chicanery (n.)
c. 1610s, “legal quibbling, sophistry, mean or petty tricks,” from French chicanerie “trickery,” from Middle French chicaner “to pettifog, quibble” (15c.), which is of unknown origin, perhaps from Middle Low German schikken “to arrange, bring about,” or from the name of a golf-like game once played in Languedoc. Also compare French chic “small, little,” as a noun “a small piece; finesse, subtlety.” Thornton’s “American Glossary” has shecoonery (1845), which it describes as probably a corruption of chicanery.

chide

[tʃaɪd]

꾸짖다

verb transitive, verb intransitive

to scold; now, usually, to reprove mildly

chide (v.)
late 12c., “scold, nag, rail,” originally intransitive, from Old English cidan “to contend, quarrel, complain.” Not found outside Old English (though Liberman says it is “probably related to OHG *kîdal ‘wedge,'” with a sense evolution from “brandishing sticks” to “scold, reprove”).

Originally a weak verb, later strong constructions are by influence of ride/rode, etc. Past tense, past participle can be chided or chid or even (past participle) chidden (Shakespeare used it); present participle is chiding.

chimera

[kaɪˈmɪrə; kɪˈmɪrə]

불가능한 생각, 불가능한 희망

noun

[C-]
a fire-breathing monster, usually represented as having a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail
any similar fabulous monster
an impossible or foolish fancy
Biology
an organism having two or more genetically distinct types of cells due to mutation, grafting, etc.

chimera (n.)
fabulous monster of Greek mythology, slain by Bellerophon, late 14c., from Old French chimere or directly from Medieval Latin chimera, from Latin Chimaera, from Greek khimaira, name of a mythical fire-breathing creature, slain by Bellerophon, with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a dragon’s tail; literally “year-old she-goat” (masc. khimaros), from kheima “winter season,” from PIE root *gheim- “winter.”

Supposedly a personification of snow or winter, but the connection to winter might be no more than the ancient habit of reckoning years as “winters.” It was held by the ancients to represent a volcano; perhaps it was a symbol of “winter storms” (another sense of Greek kheima) and generally of destructive natural forces. The word was used generically for “any grotesque monster formed from parts of other animals;” hence the figurative meaning “wild fantasy” first recorded 1580s in English (13c. in French).

기사도적인, 용감한, 예의바른

adjective

having the noble qualities of an ideal knight; gallant, courteous, honorable, etc.

chivalrous (adj.)
mid-14c., “pertaining to chivalry or knight-errantry,” from Old French chevaleros “knightly, noble, chivalrous,” from chevalier (see chevalier; also compare chivalry). According to OED, obsolete in English and French from mid-16c. Not revived in French, but brought back in English 1770s by romantic writers with a sense of “having high qualities (gallantry, courage, magnanimity) supposed to be characteristic of chivalry.” Related: Chivalrously; chivalrousness.

Obsolete

choleric (adj.)
mid-14c., colrik, “bilious of temperament or complexion,” from Old French colerique, from Late Latin cholericus, from Greek kholerikos, from Greek kholera “a type of disease characterized by diarrhea, supposedly caused by bile,” from khole “gall, bile,” so called for its color, related to khloazein “to be green,” khloros “pale green, greenish-yellow,” from PIE root *ghel- (2) “to shine,” with derivatives denoting “green, yellow,” and thus “bile, gall.” Meaning “easily angered, hot-tempered” is from 1580s (from the supposed effect of excess choler); that of “pertaining to cholera” is from 1834.

The word came to Europe with Arabic numerals. From “zero,” it came to mean “any numeral” (early 15c.), then (first in French and Italian) “secret way of writing; coded message” (a sense first attested in English 1520s), because early codes often substituted numbers for letters. Meaning “the key to a cipher or secret writing” is by 1885, short for cipher key (by 1835).

Figurative sense of “something or someone of no value, consequence, or power” is from 1570s.

civil

[ˈsɪvəl]

민간의
정중한, 예의바른
시민의

adjective

of a citizen or citizens
of a community of citizens, their government, or their interrelations
cultured; civilized
polite or courteous, esp. in a merely formal way
of citizens in procedures or matters that are not military or religious
designating legally recognized divisions of time
[sometimes C-]
of or according to Roman civil law or modern civil law
Law
relating to the private rights of individuals and to legal actions involving these

civil (adj.)
late 14c., “relating to civil law or life; pertaining to the internal affairs of a state,” from Old French civil “civil, relating to civil law” (13c.) and directly from Latin civilis “relating to a society, pertaining to public life, relating to the civic order, befitting a citizen,” hence by extension “popular, affable, courteous;” alternative adjectival derivative of civis “townsman” (see city).

Meaning “not barbarous, civilized” is from 1550s. Specifically “relating to the commonwealth as secularly organized” (as opposed to military or ecclesiastical) by 1610s. Meaning “relating to the citizen in his relation to the commonwealth or to fellow citizens” also is from 1610s.

The sense of “polite” was in classical Latin, but English did not pick up this nuance of the word until late 16c., and it has tended to descend in meaning to “meeting minimum standards of courtesy.” “Courteous is thus more commonly said of superiors, civil of inferiors, since it implies or suggests the possibility of incivility or rudeness” [OED].

Civil case (as opposed to criminal) is recorded from 1610s. Civil liberty “natural liberty restrained by law only so far as is necessary for the public good” is by 1640s.

Related: Clairvoyantly.

clairvoyant (n.)
1834 in the psychic sense, “person supposed to possess powers of clairvoyance;” see clairvoyant (adj.). Earlier it was used in the sense “clear-sighted person” (1794). Fem. form is Clairvoyante.

clamor (n.)
late 14c., “a great outcry,” also figurative, “loud or urgent demand,” from Old French clamor “call, cry, appeal, outcry” (12c., Modern French clameur), from Latin clamor “a shout, a loud call” (either friendly or hostile), from clamare “to cry out” (from PIE root *kele- (2) “to shout”).

clamor (v.)
“utter loudly, shout,” also figurative, “make importunate demands or complaints,” late 14c., from clamor (n.). Related: Clamored; clamoring.

[klænˈdɛstɪn]

비밀의, 은밀한

adjective

kept secret or hidden, esp. for some illicit purpose; surreptitious; furtive

clandestine (adj.)
“secret, private, hidden, furtive,” 1560s, from Latin clandestinus “secret, hidden,” from clam “secretly,” from adverbial derivative of base of celare “to hide” (from PIE root *kel-(1) “to cover, conceal, save”), perhaps on model of intestinus “internal.” Related: Clandestinely. As a noun form, there is awkward clandestinity (clandestineness apparently being a dictionary word).

OLD-FASHIONED

adjective

verb transitive

clarion (n.)
“small, high-pitched trumpet,” early 14c., from Old French clarion “(high-pitched) trumpet, bugle” and directly from Medieval Latin clarionem (nominative clario) “a trumpet,” from Latin clarus “clear” (see clear (adj.)). Clarion call in the figurative sense “call to battle” is attested from 1838 (clarion’s call is from 1807).

cleave

[kliv]

쪼개다, 틈을 내다
지키다, 고수하다

verb transitive

to divide by a blow, as with an ax; split
to pierce
to sever; disunite

verb intransitive

to split; separate; fall apart
to make one’s way by or as by cutting

verb intransitive

to adhere; cling (to)
to be faithful (to)

cleave (v.1)
“to split, part or divide by force,” Old English cleofan, cleven, cliven “to split, separate” (class II strong verb, past tense cleaf, past participle clofen), from Proto-Germanic *kleuban (source also of Old Saxon klioban, Old Norse kljufa, Danish klöve, Dutch kloven, Old High German klioban, German klieben “to cleave, split”), from PIE root *gleubh- “to tear apart, cleave.”

Past tense form clave is recorded in Northern writers from 14c. and was used with both verbs (see cleave (v.2)), apparently by analogy with other Middle English strong verbs. Clave was common to c. 1600 and still alive at the time of the KJV; weak past tense cleaved for this verb also emerged in 14c.; cleft is still later. The past participle cloven survives, though mostly in compounds.

cleave (v.2)
“to adhere, cling,” Middle English cleven, clevien, cliven, from Old English clifian, cleofian “to stick fast, adhere,” also figurative, from West Germanic *klibajan (source also of Old Saxon klibon, Old High German kliban, Dutch kleven, Old High German kleben, German kleben “to stick, cling, adhere”), from PIE *gloi- “to stick” (see clay).

The confusion was less in Old English when cleave (v.1) was a class 2 strong verb; but it has grown since cleave (v.1) weakened, which may be why both are largely superseded by stick (v.) and split (v.).

clemency

[ˈklɛmənsi]

자비, 관대함

noun

forbearance, leniency, or mercy, as toward an offender or enemy
a merciful or lenient act
mildness, as of weather

clemency (n.)
1550s, “mildness or gentleness shown in exercise of authority,” from Latin clementia “calmness, gentleness,” from clemens “calm, mild,” related to clinare “to lean,” often said to be from PIE root *klei- “to lean” + participial suffix -menos (also in alumnus). For sense evolution, compare inclined in secondary meaning “disposed favorably.” But de Vaan is dubious on phonological grounds.

Earlier in same sense was clemence (late 15c.). Meaning “mildness of weather or climate” is 1660s (a sense also in Latin); clement (adj.) is older in both senses (late 15c. and 1620s respectively) but now is used only in negation and only of the weather.

cliche

[kliˈʃeɪ]

진부한 표현

noun

Archaic
a stereotype printing plate
an expression or idea that has become trite

cliche (n.)
1825, “electrotype, stereotype,” from French cliché, a technical word in printer’s jargon for “stereotype block,” noun use of past participle of clicher “to click” (18c.), supposedly echoic of the sound of a mold striking metal (compare native click).

Figurative extension to “trite phrase, worn-out expression” is first attested 1888, via the notion of the metal plate from which a print or design could be reproduced endlessly without variety, paralleling the sense evolution of stereotype. But this sense was not common in English until the 1920s, when it was identified as a French idiom. Related: Cliched (1928).

clinch (v.)
1560s, “fix securely (a driven nail) by bending and beating it back,” a variant of clench (q.v.). The sense of “settle decisively” is first recorded 1716, from the notion of “clinching” the point of a nail to keep it fast. Boxing sense is from 1860. Related: Clinched; clinching.

clout (n.)
Old English clut “lump of something,” also “patch of cloth put over a hole to mend it,” from Proto-Germanic *klutaz (source also of Old Norse klute “kerchief,” Danish klud “rag, tatter,” Frisian klut “lump,” Dutch kluit “clod, lump”); perhaps related to clot (v.).

In later use “a handkerchief,” also “a woman’s sanitary napkin.” Sense of “a blow” is from early 14c., from the verb. Sense of “personal influence” is 1958, on the notion of “punch, force.”

clout (v.)
“to beat, strike with the hand,” early 14c., from clout (n.), perhaps on the notion of hitting someone with a lump of something, or from the “patch of cloth” sense of that word (compare clout (v.) “to patch, mend,” mid-14c.). Related: Clouted; clouting.

coagulate

[koʊˈægjuˌleɪt]

(혈액 등) 응고하다

verb transitive

to cause (a liquid) to become a soft, semisolid mass; curdle; clot

verb intransitive

coagulate (v.)
early 15c., “to clot, congeal, become curdled, change from a liquid into a thickened mass; to make to clot,” from Latin coagulatus, past participle of coagulare “to cause to curdle,” from cogere “to curdle, collect” (see cogent). The earlier verb was coagule, c. 1400, from Old French coaguler and directly from Latin. Related: Coagulated; coagulating.

coalesce

[ˌkoʊəˈlɛs]

합쳐지다, 하나가 되다

verb intransitive

to grow together, as the halves of a broken bone
to unite or merge into a single body, group, or mass

coalesce (v.)
1540s, “grow together, unite by growing into one body,” from Latin coalescere “unite, grow together, become one in growth,” from assimilated form of com- “together” (see co-) + alescere “be nourished,” hence, “increase, grow up,” inchoative of alere “to suckle, nourish,” from PIE root *al- (2) “to grow, nourish.” Related: Coalesced; coalescing; coalescence; coalescent.

coarse

[kɔrs]

조악한, 거친, (입자) 굵은
세련되지 않은, 저속한

adjective

of inferior or poor quality; common
consisting of rather large elements or particles
not fine or delicate in texture, structure, form, etc.; rough; harsh
for rough or crude work or results
lacking in refinement or good taste; vulgar; crude

coarse (adj.)
early 15c., cors “ordinary” (modern spelling is from late 16c.), probably adjectival use of noun cours (see course (n.)). Originally referring to rough cloth for ordinary wear, the sense of “rude, vulgar, unpolished” developed by c. 1500 and that of “obscene” by 1711.

Perhaps via the notion of “in regular or natural order,” hence “common, vulgar” (compare the development of mean (adj.), also ornery from ordinary). Or it might be via the clothing sense, and the notion of “wanting fineness of texture or elegance of form.” Or both, and there might be also an influence, via metathesis, of French gros (see gross (adj.)), which underwent a similar sense development. Related: Coarsely; coarseness.

verb transitive

to induce or try to induce to do something; (seek to) persuade by soothing words, an ingratiating manner, etc.; wheedle

coax (v.)
1660s, “lure with flattery and fondling,” also in early use “treat endearingly” (1580s); “make a fool of, impose upon” (1670s), probably derived from slang phrases such as make a coax of, from noun coax, cox, cokes “a fool, ninny, simpleton” (1560s), which is of obscure origin, perhaps related to cock (n.1) in some sense. OED speculates that the verb was in vulgar use long before it appeared in writing, thus the order of appearance of the senses is not that of the sense development. Meaning “to manage or guide carefully” is from 1841. Related: Coaxed; coaxing.

coddle

[ˈkɑdəl]

관대하게/너그럽게 대하다, 버릇없이 기르다

verb transitive

to cook (esp. eggs in the shell) gently by heating in water not quite at boiling temperature
to treat (an invalid, baby, etc.) tenderly

coddle (v.)
c. 1600, “boil gently,” probably from caudle (n.) “warm drink for invalids” (c. 1300), from Anglo-French caudel (c. 1300), ultimately from Latin calidium “warm drink, warm wine and water,” neuter of calidus “hot,” from calere “be warm” (from PIE root *kele- (1) “warm”).

The verb meaning “treat tenderly, make effeminate by pampering” first recorded 1815 (in Jane Austen’s “Emma”), but the connection to the other word is uncertain; it might as well derive from caudle. Related: Coddled; coddling.

verb transitive

coerce (v.)
mid-15c., cohercen, “restrain or constrain by force of law or authority,” from Old French cohercier, from Latin coercere “to control, restrain, shut up together,” from assimilated form of com- “together” (see co-) + arcere “to enclose, confine, contain, ward off,” from PIE *ark- “to hold, contain, guard” (see arcane). The unetymological -h- was perhaps by influence of cohere. Related: Coerced; coercing. No record of the word between late 15c. and mid-17c.; its reappearance 1650s is perhaps a back-formation from coercion.

cogent

[ˈkoʊdʒənt]

설득력 있는

adjective

forceful and to the point, as a reason or argument; compelling; convincing

cogent (adj.)
“compelling assent or conviction,” 1650s, from French cogent “necessary, urgent” (14c.), from Latin cogentem (nominative cogens), present participle of cogere “to curdle; to compel; to collect,” literally “to drive together,” from assimilated form of com “together” (see co-) + agere “to set in motion, drive, drive forward; to do, perform” (from PIE root *ag- “to drive, draw out or forth, move”).

color (n.)
early 13c., “skin color, complexion,” from Anglo-French culur, coulour, Old French color “color, complexion, appearance” (Modern French couleur), from Latin color “color of the skin; color in general, hue; appearance,” from Old Latin colos, originally “a covering” (akin to celare “to hide, conceal”), from PIE root *kel-(1) “to cover, conceal, save.” Old English words for “color” were hiw (“hue”), bleo. For sense evolution, compare Sanskrit varnah “covering, color,” which is related to vrnoti “covers,” and also see chroma.

Colour was the usual English spelling from 14c., from Anglo-French. Classical correction made color an alternative from 15c., and that spelling became established in the U.S. (see -or).

Meaning “a hue or tint, a visible color, the color of something” is from c. 1300. As “color as an inherent property of matter, that quality of a thing or appearance which is perceived by the eye alone,” from late 14c. From early 14c. as “a coloring matter, pigment, dye.” From mid-14c. as “kind, sort, variety, description.” From late 14c. in figurative sense of “stylistic device, embellishment. From c. 1300 as “a reason or argument advanced by way of justifying, explaining, or excusing an action,” hence “specious reason or argument, that which hides the real character of something” (late 14c.).

From c. 1300 as “distinctive mark of identification” (as of a badge or insignia or livery, later of a prize-fighter, horse-rider, etc.), originally in reference to a coat of arms. Hence figurative sense as in show one’s (true) colors “reveal one’s opinions or intentions;” compare colors.

In reference to “the hue of the darker (as distinguished from the ‘white’) varieties of mankind” [OED], attested from 1792, in people of colour, in translations from French in reference to the French colony of Saint-Domingue (modern Haiti) and there meaning “mulattoes.”

In reference to musical tone from 1590s. Color-scheme is from 1860. Color-coded is by 1943, in reference to wiring in radios and military aircraft.
