verb
transitive verb
to bring the score of (a tennis game or set) to deuce
15世纪末, dews,指“骰子或纸牌中的2”,也指“骰子中的2点”(1510年代),源自古法语 deus(现代法语 deux),源自拉丁语 duos(主格 duo)“两个”(源自 PIE 词根 *dwo- “两个”)。拼写 -ce 从 -s 开始反映了无声发音,与 dice, pence 等相同。
这个词在1710年成为一种温和的誓言,大约在首次出现“厄运、魔鬼等”的意义之后50年,可能是因为2是最低的分数,也可能是因为与拉丁语 deus 和相关的意思“神”相似。根据 OED 的说法,16世纪的低地德语中有相同意义的 der daus!,可能影响了英语形式。

Noun Middle English dwsse, dews, dewes, borrowed from Anglo-French deus "two" (continental Old French dous, masculine accusative), going back to Latin duōs, accusative of duo; (sense 3) perhaps of independent origin; (sense 4) probably alluding to number two — more at two >entry 1 Note: In expressions such as "a deuce on him," "a deuce take me," current from the 1650's, deuce is clearly a euphemism for "devil." The reason for the choice of deuce rather than another word has inspired several explanations, none entirely satisfactory. The editors of the Oxford English Dictionary, first edition, apparently following an article by A. L. Mayhew (The Academy, vol. 41, no. 1030, January 30, 1892, pp. 11-12) propose that deuce was borrowed from Low German duus in the same sense: "compare German daus, Low German duus, used in precisely the same way, in the exclamatory der daus! was der daus …! Low German de duus! wat de duus!" A Low German source is not specified by the editors, but Daus is entered in Grimm's Deutsches Wörterbuch with the meaning "deuce" in cards and dice, and as a euphemism for "devil" (Teufel, Low German Düvel). The parallel with English deuce is noted, but there is no suggestion that the English word was borrowed from German. This is indeed a weakness of Mayhew's hypothesis: the parallelism connecting the two languages does not necessarily imply borrowing of the word itself, and borrowing would not in any case explain why in particular duus/daus developed a secondary meaning.
