X+これを久しゅう meaning


In sentences like
[here](http://yourei.jp/%E4%B9%85%E3%81%97%E3%82%85%E3%81%86%E3%81%97%E3%81%9F).
What does it mean? Which of the dictionary meanings of 久しい do I apply here?

  1. 幽谷先生が感歎 **これを久しゅう** したのも無理ではない。 

  2. と、私は慨嘆 **これを久しゅう** したことであった。 

etc. (there are many more in the link)




In this case,

「[久]{ひさ}しい」＝「[長]{なが}い」 (temporal > spatial)

> 「Noun + これ + (を) + 久しゅうする」 means:
>
> "to do (noun) for a long time"

In real life, however, we mostly use this phrase with a limited number of
nouns whose meanings are related to " _ **exclamation**_ " such as
「[感嘆]{かんたん}」、「[慨嘆]{がいたん}」、「[三嘆]{さんたん}」, etc. This is elegant speech, if you
are wondering.

> = "to be amazed for a long time"

Regarding the 「しゅう」 part, you will hear 「よろしゅう」 to mean 「よろしく」 at least in
Kansai if not in Kanto. It is a remnant of Classical Japanese.
