Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle French: suave

Geleen van Latyn: suāvis

Verwante met Old French: soef

In summary

Inherited from Middle French suave, borrowed from Latin suāvis (“sweet, pleasant”), replacing the inherited form souef (in use until the 17th century), from Old French soef, suef (“sweet, mild, agreeable, tranquil, peaceful”), descendants of which live on in other Oïl languages.
