උච්චාරණය[සංස්කරණය]

නිරුක්තිය 1[සංස්කරණය]

From Middle English forke (“digging fork”), from Old English force, forca (“forked instrument used to torture”), from Proto-West Germanic *furkō (“fork”), from ලතින් furca (“pitchfork, forked stake; gallows, beam, stake, support post, yoke”), of uncertain origin. The Middle English word was later reinforced by Anglo-Norman, Old Northern French forque (= Old French forche whence ප්‍රංශ fourche), also from the Latin. Cognate also with North Frisian forck (“fork”), ඕලන්ද vork (“fork”), ඩෙන්මාර්ක fork (“fork”), ජර්මානු Forke (“pitchfork”). Displaced native gafol, ġeafel, ġeafle (“fork”), from Old English.

In its primary sense of සැකිල්ල:m-g, ලතින් furca appears to be derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰerk(ʷ)-, *ǵʰerg(ʷ)- (“fork”), although the development of the -c- is difficult to explain. In other senses this derivation is unlikely. For these, perhaps it is connected to Proto-Germanic *furkaz, *firkalaz (“stake, stick, pole, post”), from Proto-Indo-European *perg- (“pole, post”). If so, this would relate the word to Old English forclas pl (“bolt”), Old Saxon ferkal (“lock, bolt, bar”), Old Norse forkr (“pole, staff, stick”), නෝර්වීජියානු fork (“stick, bat”), ස්වීඩන් fork (“pole”).
