15世纪早期,“月光,月亮的光辉”,源自 moon(n.)+ shine(n.)。荷兰语 maneschijn,德语 Mondschein,瑞典语 månsken,丹麦语 maaneskin 也有类似的构词方式。在比喻意义上,“外表虚假,假装,虚构”自15世纪末开始使用; 也许是来自“水中的月光”(见 moonraker)或“没有热量的光线”的概念。
“非法或走私的酒”一词最早见于1785年(最早的参考文献是指在肯特和萨塞克斯海岸走私的酒; 在美国南部的参考文献是在1829年),因为在夜间在黑暗中被带进或带出。19世纪早期, Moonlight 有时也用于这个意义。从1883年开始,这个词也被用作动词。相关词汇: Moonshiner “走私者; 在夜间从事危险或非法交易的人”(1860年)。
