中英词源

tidy 整齐的，整洁的

来自 tide,时令，季节，-y,形容词后缀，对应 timely.即适时的，当令的。引申词义情况好的，整洁的，整齐的。

tidy: tidy: [13] Tidy originally meant ‘timely, seasonable’ (it was a derivative of tide, in the now superannuated sense ‘time, season’). It early on evolved metaphorically to ‘goodlooking’, and hence ‘good’, but the modern sense ‘neat’ did not emerge until the 18th century. Titivate [19] may have been based on tidy.
=> tide, titivate
tidy (v.): "to make neat, set in order," 1821, from tidy (adj.). Related: Tidied; tidying.
tidy (adj.): mid-13c., "in good condition, healthy," probably originally "in season, timely, opportune, excellent" (though this sense is not attested until mid-14c.), from tide (n.) in the sense of "season, time" + -y (2). Of persons, "of neat and orderly habits," from 1706. Similar formation in Old High German zitig, German zeitig, Dutch tijdig, Danish tidig "timely," Old English tidlic "temporal," also "timely, seasonable."
