henchman词源中文解释

14世纪中期, hengestman,后来是 henshman(15世纪中期),“高级仆人(通常出身高贵),侍奉国王、贵族等”,最初是“马夫”,可能来自 man(名词)+古英语 hengest “马、种马、阉马”,源自原始日耳曼语 *hangistas(源头还有古弗里斯兰语 hengst,荷兰语 hengest,德语 Hengst “种马”),可能字面意思是“跳跃最好的”,源自 PIE *kenku-(源头还有希腊语 kekiein “涌出”; 立陶宛语 šokti “跳跃、跳舞”; 布列塔尼语 kazek “母马”,字面意思是“属于种马的东西”)。

可能是模仿古诺尔斯语复合词 hesta-maðr “马童、马夫”。这个词在17世纪英格兰已经过时,但在苏格兰保留为“苏格兰高地酋长的私人随从”的意思,这个意思从1810年起被斯科特在文学英语中重新使用。 “顺从或不择手段的追随者”的意义首次记录于1839年,可能是对斯科特使用该词的一种误解。

This officer is a sort of secretary, and is to be ready, upon all occasions, to venture his life in defence of his master; and at drinking-bouts he stands behind his seat, at his haunch, from whence his title is derived, and watches the conversation, to see if any one offends his patron. [Scott, notes to "Lady of the Lake," 1820; his proposed etymology is not now considered correct]
这个官员是一种秘书,必须随时准备为主人冒生命危险; 在饮酒时,他站在主人的座位后面,靠在他的臀部,从那里得到他的头衔,并观察谈话,看是否有人冒犯了他的主人。[斯科特,“湖夫人”注,1820年; 他提出的词源现在被认为是不正确的]
