尊称

Looking at instances of this word in Middle English and Early Modern English, we see that surly was only one spelling for this word, another spelling being sirly, which makes it clear that it came from the word sir, the term of honor for a knight or for a person of rank or importance in general.

从中古英语和早期现代英语中的实例，我们可以看到， surly 的拼法只有一个，另一个是 sirly ，它清楚地表明这个字来自 sir （给于骑士或有等级或有身份的人的尊称）。

"At the end of the Thirty Years' War, the Peace of Westphalia recognized the individual sovereignty of the empire's states; the empire thereafter became a loose federation of states and the title of emperor principally honorific."

三十年战争结束后，「西伐利亚和约」承认帝国内各邦的个别主权，神圣罗马帝国自此成为松散的国家联盟，皇帝的头衔主要是尊称。
