中古英语 cheuen,源自古英语 ceowan “咬,啃,嚼”,来自西日耳曼语 *keuwwan(源头还包括中低地德语 keuwen,荷兰语 kauwen,古高地德语 kiuwan,德语 kauen),可能源自原始印欧语 *gyeu- “咀嚼”(源头还包括古教会斯拉夫语 živo “咀嚼”,立陶宛语 žiaunos “下颚”,波斯语 javidan “咀嚼”)。
“思考”比喻意义始于14世纪晚期; chew the rag“讨论某个问题”始于1885年,显然最初是英国军队的俚语。相关词汇: Chewed; chewing。 chew (someone) out(1948)可能是二战期间的军事俚语。 Chewing-gum最早见于1843年的美国英语,最初是云杉树的硬化分泌物。
