Middle English fixen
中古英语 fixen
from fix [fixed in position]

fix.able
adj.（形容词）
fix.er
n.（名词）
<注释>Fixing to ranks with y`all as one of the best known markers of Southern dialects, although it seems to be making its way into the informal speech and writing of non-Southerners. Fixing to means .to be on the verge of or in preparation for (doing a given thing),. but like the modal auxiliaries, it has only a single invariant form and is not fully inflected like other verbs. Its form is always the present participle followed by the infinitive marker to : They were fixing to leave without me. Semantically, fixing to can refer only to events that immediately follow the speaker`s point of reference. One cannot say, .We`re fixing to have a baby in a couple of years..
Fixing to 与 y`all 齐名，都是南方方言的典型代表，但它开始也在非南方人不正式的讲话和写作中运用。 Fixing to 意指.向…报仇或准备好（做交给的事情）.，但它与情态动词一样，只有一种变形形式，不象其它动词那样有完整的一套词尾变形。它常用带动词不定式的符号 to 加现在分词的形式： 他们正准备不等我就离开。 从语义上来看， fixing to 仅用于紧跟在说话者观点后的事情。不能说，.我们准备在近几年内要个孩子.
