đắng ngọt
/ˌbɪtəˈswiːt//ˌbɪtərˈswiːt/The word "bittersweet" has its roots in Old English and Germanic languages. The term "bitter" comes from the Old English word "bitter", which meant "causing a sharp, pungent sensation" and was likely derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*bitiz". On the other hand, "sweet" comes from the Old English word "sweotan", which meant "to be sweet" or "to have a pleasant taste", and is related to the Proto-Germanic word "*sweitiz". The combination of "bitter" and "sweet" to form "bittersweet" likely arose in Middle English (circa 1100-1500 AD), and originally referred to a taste that was both sharp and sweet, like the taste of some bitter herbs or medicines. Over time, the phrase took on a figurative meaning, describing a feeling or experience that is both sorrowful and satisfying, often in a nostalgic or sentimental way.
