apology (expression of remorse or regret) · excuse (explanation designed to avoid or alleviate guilt or negative judgment) · note (written excusal for being late or absent from school)
köken: Inherited from Old French coment (“how”). Analyzable as comme + -ment.
aile: comment allez-vous, comment vas-tu, comment ça, comment ça se fait, comment ça se peut, comment ça va, comment cela, comment c'est, comment les cannes sont, comment les zaricos
köken: The translative singular of now archaic anne (“gift”). Compare Estonian andeks, Ingrian anteeks (in antaa anteeks), Karelian andiekši, Votic antõssi; at least some of these may be borrowed from Finnish, according to SSA. For the semantic connection between giving and apologizing, compare also the formation of English forgive.
aile: antaa anteeksi, pyytää anteeksi, suoda anteeksi, anteeksiantamaton, anteeksiantaminen, anteeksiantamus, anteeksianto, anteeksipyydellen, anteeksipyyntö, anteeksipyytelemätön
köken: From the obsolete verb bocsánik + -at (noun-forming suffix), from a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries). Ultimately from Proto-Turkic *boĺ.
köken: From Malay maaf, from Classical Malay maaf, ma'af, from Arabic مُعَاف (muʕāf, “exempt (from taxation)”). * Displaced native ampun in most context other than religious and grave offences.
köken: xin (“to beg”) + lỗi (“mistake”). The literal meaning of these two words is "to beg for someone's mistake", which some people might consider strange. It's possibly a shortened form of the more outdated literary form xin thứ lỗi/xin tha lỗi.
