smatter词源中文解释

15世纪初, smateren,不及物动词,意为“闲聊,胡扯; 无知或肤浅地说话”,其起源不确定,可能是拟声词。类似的词语在中古德语中有 smetern “闲聊”,瑞典语中有 smattra “咔嗒声,咯咯声”,丹麦语中有 snaddre “闲聊,嘟囔”,荷兰语中有 snateren,德语中有 schnattern “咯咯声,闲聊,唠叨”。

或者它可能是中古英语中 smateren “弄脏,玷污”的特殊意义(14世纪末)。中古英语中的 Compendium 将其与 bismotered “被溅污的”, smotten “腐败,贬低,玷污”进行了比较。

较早的意义已经过时。1520年代开始出现“对某事略知一二,是一个 smatterer”的意思。相关词语: Smattered; smattering。
