14世纪晚期,“肉馅,填料”; 1520年代,在戏剧意义上指“荒谬的讽刺; 低俗喜剧”,源自法语 farce “神秘剧中的滑稽插曲”(16世纪),字面意思是“填料”,源自古法语 farcir “填充”(13世纪),源自拉丁语 farcire “填充,塞满”,其起源不确定,可能来自原始印欧语言 *bhrekw- “挤压在一起”,因此与 frequens “拥挤的” 相关。
... for a farce is that in poetry which grotesque is in a picture. The persons and action of a farce are all unnatural, and the manners false, that is, inconsisting with the characters of mankind. [Dryden, "A Parallel of Poetry and Painting"]
