词源
"Old English eornoste （adjective）, eornost （noun）, of Germanic origin; related to German Ernst （noun）.Middle English ernes, literally ‘instalment paid to confirm a contract', based on Old French erres, from Latin arra, shortened form of arrabo ‘a pledge'. The spelling was influenced by words ending in -ＮＥＳＳ; the final -t is probably by association with ＥＡＲＮＥＳＴ1."
