specially 的词源
specially(adv.)
13世纪晚期,specialli,意为“特定目的,特殊原因”。这个词源于形容词special加上后缀-ly(第二种用法)。到了14世纪中期,它被用来表示“超过其他,特别之意”。同时,它也是especially的双重词。
Special is more common than especial, which has the same meaning; but especially is for rhythmical reasons (because it occurs most frequently at the beginning of a dependent clause, where usually an unaccented particle occurs, and where, therefore, a word with an accent on the first syllable is instinctively avoided) much more common than specially. [Century Dictionary]
Special比especial更常用,尽管两者意思相同;而especially则因为韵律原因(通常在从句开头出现,那里通常是无重音的虚词,因此本能上避免使用重音在首音节的词)比specially更为普遍。[《世纪词典》]
