luff词源中文解释
同时也有 loof，在航海中，约1200年，“用于改变船舶航向的装置”，同时也指“船舶船头两侧开始弯曲的部分”，源自古法语 lof “桅杆”或其他航海装置，“航向”，也指“迎风侧”，起源和意义的发展不确定，可能最终源自日耳曼语（比较中古荷兰语 lof “船舶迎风侧”（荷兰语 loef），这也可能是英语单词的直接来源）。
这源自原始日耳曼语 *lofo（也是古诺尔斯语 lofi，哥特语 lofa “手掌”，丹麦语 lab，瑞典语 labb “爪子”），源自 PIE *lep-（2）“扁平”（参见 glove（名词））。作为动词，“使帆船船首更靠近风”，始于14世纪末，源自名词。
