BOYFRIEND
In the XIX century, the verb to take care of is drawn into the orbit of "amorous" words and phrases. On the basis of its meanings "1 - to have care of someone or look after someone; 2 - to hang around someone, please someone", it develops another thing: to show a woman a love-erotic interest, seeking her favor. An example is already found in the "Stone Guest" by A. S. Pushkin: [Leporello] Ineza! "black-eyed.".. Oh, I remember. You've been courting for three months Follow her; the evil one helped us with great difficulty! In the "Story of Pushkin's relationship to Dantes" by a colleague of Zh.

In lexicographic practice, a new noun was registered for the first time by the editor of the third edition of V. I. Dahl's Explanatory Dictionary, acad. IA Baudouin de Courtenay - and in two forms: boyfriend and wooer "courting a girl or an adult lady, saying compliments to her, etc." (V. Dahl's Explanatory Dictionary of the living Great Russian language. 3rd ispr. and significant additional ed. Edited by I. A. Baudouin de Courtenay, Moscow, 1909, Vol. IV), although I. A.
