thrust 猛推，沖，擠

來自古諾斯語 thrysta,猛推，用力沖擠，來自 Proto-Germanic*thrustijanan,猛推，沖，可能來自 PIE*treud,猛推，沖，詞源同 threat,extrude.-st,表反復(fù)。

thrust: thrust: [12] Thrust was borrowed from Old Norse thrysta ‘thrust, compress’. It probably goes back ultimately to the Indo-European base *trud- ‘push, press’, whose other descendants include Latin trūdere ‘thrust’ (source of English abstruse, intrude, etc) and probably also English threat.
thrust (v.): late 12c., from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse trysta "to thrust, force, press," from Proto-Germanic *thrustijanan, perhaps from PIE *treud- "push, press" (see threat), but OED finds this derivation doubtful. Related: Thrusting.
thrust (n.): 1510s, "act of pressing," from thrust (v.). Meaning "act of thrusting" (in the modern sense) is from 1580s. Meaning "propulsive force" is from 1708. Figurative sense of "principal theme, aim, point, purpose" is recorded from 1968.
