Phrasal Verbs
Etymology
1. c.1375, from O.Fr.
remain-, stressed stem of
remanoir, from L.
remanere "to remain, to stay behind," from
re- "back" +
manere "to stay, remain."
Remains (n.), euphemism for "corpse," is attested from c.1700, from
mortal remains. The noun
remain "those left over or surviving" is attested from c.1470, but the more usual n. form in Eng. has been
remainder (1424), from Anglo-Fr.
remainder (O.Fr.
remaindre), variant of O.Fr.
remanoir.
2. From Middle English remainen, from Old French remain-, stressed stem of remanoir, from Latin remaneō, maneō, from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to stay”).
3. Displaced native Middle English beliven, bliven (“to remain”) (from Old English belīfan (“to remain, stay”)) due to confluence with related Middle English beleven (“to leave behind”), with which it merged. More at beleave and belive. See: Latin '
remaneō'.
