中英词源

solemn 仪式的，庄严的，郑重的，严肃的

来自拉丁语 solemnis/sollemnis,仪式的，宗教节日的，一年一度的，来自 sollennis,年度的，固定的，来自 sollus,整个的，完整的，词源同 solid,-enn,年，词源同 annual,biennial.引申词义庄严的，郑重的，严肃的等。

solemn: solemn: [14] Solemn comes via Old French solemne from Latin sollemnis ‘customary’, hence ‘performed with due ceremony on a particular fixed day’. This was derived from sollus ‘whole’ (source also of English solicit).
=> solicit
solemn (adj.): mid-14c., "performed with due religious ceremony or reverence, sacred, devoted to religious observances," also, of a vow, etc., "made under religious sanction, binding," from Old French solempne (12c., Modern French solennel) and directly from Latin sollemnis "annual, established, religiously fixed, formal, ceremonial, traditional," perhaps related to sollus "whole" (see safe (adj.)).

"The explanation that Latin sollemnis was formed from sollus whole + annus year is not considered valid" [Barnhart], but some assimilation via folk-etymology is possible. In Middle English also "famous, important; imposing, grand," hence Chaucer"s friar, a ful solempne man. Meaning "marked by seriousness or earnestness" is from late 14c.; sense of "fitted to inspire devout reflection" is from c. 1400. Related: Solemnly.
