15世纪初,指动物的“restif”、“restyffe”,意为“不向前移动”,源自古法语 restif “静止,停滞不前”(现代法语 rétif),源自 rester “保持”(参见 rest(v.2))。
原义罕见或古语,主要意义“拒绝静止”,尤其是指马(1680年代有记录),可能基于“难以控制,不耐烦的约束”之意,指马拒绝向前走(1650年代)。
但它也可能受到 rest(v.)的影响,这是 arrest “停止,检查”的一个古老的缩略形式,以及与 restless 混淆。同义词包括同义词 resty,意为同样的意思,1510年代指马,1600年代指人。相关词汇: Restively; restiveness。
