英文词源
because
**because: **[14] _Because _originated in the phrase by cause, which was directly modelled on French par cause. At first it was always followed by _of _or by a subordinate clause introduced by _that _or why: ‘The Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified’, St John’s Gospel, 7:39, 1611. But already by the end of the 14th century _that _and _why _were beginning to be omitted, leaving _because _to function as a conjunction, a move which would perhaps have exercised contemporary linguistic purists as much as ‘The reason is because …’ does today. The abbreviated form _’cause _first appears in print in the 16th century.
