Etymology/語源
Merriam-Websterによると、ShakespeareのThe Tempestにおいては、a sea-changeとは、海がもたらした変化になります。"Full fathom five thy father lies ... / Nothing of him that doth fade / But doth suffer a sea-change."これが、本来の意味ですが、今では古語になっています。
According to Merriam-Webster:
In Shakespeare's The Tempest, a sea-change is a change brought about by sea: Full fathom five thy father lies ... / Nothing of him that doth fade / But doth suffer a sea-change. This meaning is the original one, but it's now archaic.
