14世纪晚期,“轻蔑的,傲慢的,表现出傲慢无礼的”,源自拉丁语 insolentem(主格 insolens)“傲慢的,过度的”,也是“不习惯的,不寻常的”的意思,字面意思是“不寻常的,不熟悉的”,源自 in- “不,相反的”(见 in-(1))和 solere 的现在分词 solentem,意为“习惯,习惯于; 与...同居”,源自原意语 *sol-e-。
这个词的起源不确定。一个旧的猜测将其与拉丁语 sodalis “亲密的伙伴”和 suescere “变得习惯于”联系起来,但德·范(de Vaan)基于语音方面的原因拒绝了这个猜测。另一个猜测将其与拉丁语 solum “地面”联系起来,可能是从“居住”到“习惯于”的意义转变。或者它可能来自 PIE 词根 *sel-(1)“人类定居点”(源头还包括古教会斯拉夫语 selo “庭院,村庄”,俄语 selo “村庄”,古英语 sele,古高地德语 sal “大厅,房子”)。意思是“轻蔑合法权威”的含义始于1670年代。相关: Insolently。
