her

英文词源

her

her: [OE] Her is the modern English descendant of Old English hire, a derivative of the same Germanic base, *khi-, as produced he. It was the genitive and dative case of the feminine personal pronoun: the former, which we would now express as of her, has become the possessive adjective, as in ‘her job’, and the latter is now the object form, as in ‘follow her’. The possessive pronoun hers dates from the 14th century.
=> he
