Cheer Up, Mr
Cheering involves the uttering or making of sounds and may be used to encourage, excite to action, indicate approval or welcome. The word cheer originally meant face, countenance, or expression, and came through Old French into Middle English in the 13th century from Low Latin ''cara'', head; this is generally referred to the Greek καρα;. ''Cara'' is used by the 6th-century poet Flavius Cresconius Corippus, ''Postquam venere verendam Caesilris ante caram'' (''In Laud em Justini Minoris''). Cheer was at first qualified with epithets, both of joy and gladness and of sorrow; compare She thanked Dyomede for ale ... his gode chere (Chaucer, ''Troylus'') with If they sing ... tis with so dull a cheere (Shakespeare, ''Sonnets'', xcvii.). An early transference in meaning was to hospitality or entertainment, and hence to food and drink, good cheer. The sense of a shout of encouragement or applause is a late use. Defoe (''Captain Singleton'') speaks of it as a sailor's word, and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
