- O.E. suр "southward, in the south," from P.Gmc. *sunthaz, perhaps related to base of *sunnon "sun." To go south "vanish, abscond," is 1920s, Amer.Eng., probably from mid-19c. notion of disappearing south to Mexico or Texas to escape pursuit or responsibility, reinforced by Native American belief (attested in colonial writing mid-18c.) that the soul journeys south after death. Go west was a 19c. British idiom for "die, be killed" (popularized during World War I), "probably from thieves' slang, wherein to go west meant to go to Tyburn, hence to be hanged, though the phrase has indubitably been influenced by the setting of the sun in the west." [Partridge] Southern is from O.E. suрerne, from suр "south" + -erne, suffix denoting direction. The Southern states of the U.S. have been collectively called The South since 1779. South country in Britain means the part below the Tweed, in England the part below the Wash, and in Scotland the part below the Forth. Southron (1470) is a Scottish word popularized in Eng. by Jane Porter's "Scottish Chiefs" (1810). The nauticual coat called a sou'wester protects the wearer against severe weather, such as a gale out of the southwest. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
