约于1400年, desperat,形容人“绝望的,没有希望的”(这个意义现已过时),源自拉丁语 desperatus “放弃,绝望”,是 desperare “绝望,失去所有希望”的过去分词,由 de “没有”(见 de-)和 sperare “希望”组成,源自 spes “希望”(来自 PIE 词根 *spes- “繁荣”; 见 speed(n.))。
形容人,“不关心安全,极其鲁莽,因绝望而被推向鲁莽”,自15世纪末开始; “非常渴望”的弱化意义来自20世纪50年代。形容情况,“极其严重”,自1550年代开始。形容行动,“不考虑后果地做或采取”,自1570年代开始。相关词汇: Desperately; desperateness。
