来自古英语butan。b同by, 在旁边。-ut, 发音同out,向外。所以but就是与参照的对象不是属于同一范畴的,不一样的,除此以外的。大家感觉一下【但是】和【在……旁边】的意思,是不是都有不属于统一范畴的内涵呢?

小知识
But is the word that turns a corner in a sentence. If a sentence starts out in one direction, but can change that direction. For example: “I like you, but I never want to see you again.”
But can mean “however,” “nonetheless,” and “on the contrary” in three little letters. It's English efficiency at its best. But is short but powerful. But is everywhere but never unnecessary. But is never supposed to start a sentence, but sometimes it does. But sometimes means “just,” as in: “I'll have but a few of those delicious candies.” Grade schoolers might snicker, but the word would need another t to mean your “bottom.”
