中英词源

sheer 纯粹的，十足的，陡峭的，垂直的

来自古英语 scir,明亮的，发光的，闪耀的，来自 Proto-Germanic*skiriz,纯的，纯粹的，清晰的，来自 PIE*skai,发光，闪耀，词源同 shine,sheen.现词义可能来自不同词源，并最终来自 PIE*sker,剪，切，砍，劈，词源同 shear,sharp.引申词义陡峭的，垂直的等。

sheer: sheer: see shear
sheer (adj.): c. 1200, "exempt, free from guilt" (as in Sheer Thursday, the Thursday of Holy Week); later schiere "thin, sparse" (c. 1400), from Old English scir "bright, clear, gleaming; translucent; pure, unmixed," and influenced by Old Norse cognate scær "bright, clean, pure," both from Proto-Germanic *skeran- (cognates: Old Saxon skiri, Old Frisian skire, German schier, Gothic skeirs "clean, pure"), from PIE root *(s)ker- (1) "to cut" (see shear (v.)).

Sense of "absolute, utter" (sheer nonsense) developed 1580s, probably from the notion of "unmixed;" that of "very steep" (a sheer cliff) is first recorded 1800, probably from notion of "continued without halting." Meaning "diaphanous" is from 1560s. As an adverb from c. 1600.
sheer (v.): 1620s, "deviate from course" (of a ship), of obscure origin, perhaps from Dutch scheren "to move aside, withdraw, depart," originally "to separate" (see shear (v.)). Related: Sheered; shearing. As a noun from 1660s.
