daftness (n.)
词根:daft
adv.daftly 癫狂地;愚蠢地
n.daftness 癫狂;愚笨
adjective
lacking good sense; insane; witless.You must have been daft to try something so dangerous.
silly or foolish.I'm getting a bit daft in my old age.
约于公元1200年,指“温和的,有礼貌的”,古英语 gedæfte “温和的,合适的”,源自原始日耳曼语 *gadaftjaz(也指古英语 daeftan “整理,安排”, gedafen “合适的”; 哥特语 gadaban “适合”),源自 *dab-,其印欧语源不确定,可能是底层语词。
意义恶化为“迟钝的,笨拙的,粗鲁的”(约于公元1300年),可能是通过“谦卑”的概念而来。进一步演变为“愚蠢的,简单的,愚笨的”(15世纪中期)和“疯狂的”(1530年代),可能受到与 daffe “半傻子,傻瓜,白痴”(见 daffy)类似的比拟的影响; 整个词族可能有一个共同的起源。有关意义演变,请参见 nice, silly。相关词汇: Daftly; daftness。
Middle English daffte, daft, defte "well-mannered, gentle, dull, foolish," going back to Old English gedæfte "gentle, mild, meek," adjective derivative of a Germanic base *daƀ- "becoming, fit" (whence also Old English gedafen "appropriate, fitting," Gothic gadaban "to happen, be suitable," with lengthened grade Old English gedēfe "fitting, worthy, quiet, tranquil," Middle Dutch onghedoef "wild, rough," Gothic gadob ist "it is fitting"), going back to dialectal Indo-European *dhabh- or *dhobh-, whence also Old Church Slavic podobati "to become, be fitting," dobrŭ "good, pleasant," Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian dôba, dȍba "time, season," Lithuanian dabà "nature, character," dabnùs "well-dressed, elegant" Note: The sense progression from Germanic to Modern English is apparently "fit, becoming" to "well-mannered, modest" to "dull, stupid" to "foolish, irrational." See also deft.
The first known use of daft was in the 14th century
