shine[shine 词源字典]

shine: [OE] Shine and its Germanic relatives, German scheinen, Dutch schijnen, Swedish skina, and Danish skinne, go back to a prehistoric *skīnan. This was derived from *ski-, a base which also produced English sheer and shimmer (sheen, despite its similarity, is not connected). Other descendants of this base were Greek skiá ‘shadow’ and skēné ‘tent’ (source of English scene); the semantic link between the rather unlikely bedfellows ‘shining’ and ‘shadow’ is held to be ‘faint light’.
