词源：
severe (adj.)1540s, “rigorous in condemnation or punishment,” from French severe (12c., Modern French sévère) or directly from Latin severus “serious, grave, strict, austere,” which is of uncertain origin, but de Vaan supports the theory (also in Watkins) that it probably is a suffixed form PIE root *segh- “to have, hold,” on the notion of “steadfastness, toughness.”
It is attested by 1560s of looks and demeanor, of law or punishment (“unsparing”), also “extremely strict in matters of conduct or self-discipline.” It is attested by 1660s with reference to styles or tastes, “chaste, restrained, shunning florid ornament.” On the notion of “sharp, distressing, violent” it is attested by 1670s in reference to weather or winter, by 1725 of illness or disease, by 1742 of pain and suffering.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
strict（形容词）1540年代，“严厉的谴责或惩罚”，源自法语severe（12c.，现代法语sévère）或直接源自拉丁语severus“严肃的，严肃的，严格的，严峻的”，其来源不确定，但de Vaan支持这一理论（也在沃特金斯中），即它可能是 PIE 词根 *segh 的后缀形式 – “拥有、持有”，表示“坚定、坚韧”的概念。 1560年代的外表和举止、法律或惩罚（“毫不留情”）以及“在行为或自律方面极其严格”都证明了这一点。 1660 年代的风格或品味证明了这一点：“贞洁、内敛、回避华丽的装饰”。关于“尖锐、痛苦、暴力”的概念，它在 1670 年代被证明是指天气或冬天，到 1725 年是指疾病或疾病，到 1742 年是指疼痛和苦难。相关条目及更多
