uncanny词源中文解释

1590年代,指“恶作剧的,恶意的”(现已过时); 17世纪也指“粗心的,不谨慎的; 不可靠的,不值得信任的”,源自于 un-(1)“不”和 canny(见 q.v.)在其苏格兰和北英格兰的旧义中的意思是“熟练的,谨慎的,幸运的”(它是 cunning 的同源词)。

Canny 还有“迷信的幸运; 擅长魔法”的意思。在 Wright 的“英语方言词典”(1900)中, uncanny 在苏格兰和北部的第一个意思是“笨拙的,不熟练的; 粗心的; 不方便的”。第二个意思是“超自然的,幽灵的,因超自然原因危险的; 不祥的,不吉利的; 一个人:拥有超自然的力量”。

从1773年开始, uncanny 在北方的流行文学中出现,涉及人物,并具有“与超自然联系在一起,不太安全可信的”意义。到1843年,它在英语中具有“具有超自然特征,奇怪的,神秘的”一般意义。(OED 将其注释为“从 c 1850年起普遍使用”; 博尔赫斯认为它无法翻译,但指出德语 unheimlich 与之相应。)

苏格兰作家还用它来表示“不愉快的困难; 危险,不安全”。
