quandary词源

quandary

quandary: [16] Quandary may have originated as a quasi-latinism. One of its early forms was quandare, which suggests that it may have been a pseudo-Latin infinitive verb, coined on the fanciful notion that Latin quandō ‘when’ was a first person present singular form.

quandary (n.)

\"state of perplexity,\" 1570s, of unknown origin, perhaps a quasi-Latinism based on Latin quando \"when? at what time?; at the time that, inasmuch,\" pronominal adverb of time, related to qui \"who\" (see who). Originally accented on the second syllable.
