Misu (ミス - Mistake/Miss)

Misu

On April 24, I made a 'misu' (ミス - meaning "mistake") of missing the submit button on Lang-8.

(That is why I am posting two articles today.)

Until today, I believed that 'misu' came from the English word "mistake."

In fact, many Web sites explain such a theory.

However, I learned that the English word "miss" also includes the meaning of "failure."

According to the Internet, the "miss" came from the Old English "missan," and from the Germanic "missjan," meaning "to go wrong."

ミス

4月24日、私はLang-8で投稿ボタンを押し損ねるという「ミス」を犯しました。

（だから今日は、2つの投稿があります。）

「ミス」は「失敗」を意味する和製英語で、私は英語の "mistake" から来ていると思っていました。

実際、そのように説明しているWebサイトが多くあります。

しかし、英語の "miss" にも「失敗」の意味が含まれることを知りました。

「失敗する」を意味する古英語の "missan"、さらには「間違う」を意味するゲルマン語の "missjan" に由来するそうです。
