Jun 21	comment	Was bedeutet “todunglücklich” genau? @thei : deine Erklärung stimmt jetzt mit einem anderen Adjektiv: todsicher! Die Ursprung ist vielleicht nicht "tout" or toute" aber "tout à fait" (ganz, wohl, vollständig). Man sagt noch "Tout à fait sûr, tout à fait chic" für todsicher und todschick.

Jun 21	comment	Was bedeutet “todunglücklich” genau? @ladybug: thei wrote: it is apparently an old derivation, dating of Napoleon occupation of Germany in early 19th century. It might explain that it does not sound native french to me. Another aspect is that it may have been derived from a feminine version such as "toute chic", where the final "t" sound is heard.
