riffraff词源中文解释

也 riff-raff,15世纪末,指“品行不端或地位低下的人”,源自更早的 rif and raf(盎格鲁-法语 rif et raf)“每个人,一切事物; 废料,无价值的东西”(14世纪中叶),源自古法语 rif et raf,源自 rifler “破坏,剥夺”(参见 rifle(动词))。第二个元素源自 raffler “带走”,与 rafle “掠夺”相关,或者源自 raffer “抢夺,扫荡”(参见 raffle(名词)); 这个词可能更多地是为了引起半押韵的联想而不是为了表达意义。

“社区的废料,渣滓或乌合之众”的意思可追溯到1540年代。在15世纪的关联术语集合中,一群年轻男子或男孩被称为 a raffle of knaves。
