bombast词源中文解释

1570年代，“棉花垫”，从早期的 bombace “生棉”（1550年代）发展而来，源自于旧法语 bombace “棉花，棉絮”，源自于晚期拉丁语 bombacem，表示 bombax “棉花，'linteorum aut aliae quaevis quisquiliae'”，是拉丁语 bombyx “丝绸”的一种曲解和过度使用，源自于希腊语 bombyx “丝绸，蚕茧”（在中世纪的希腊语中也表示“棉花”），源自于某种东方语言，也许与伊朗语 pambak（现代 panba）或亚美尼亚语 bambok 有关，也许最终起源于一个表示“扭转，缠绕”的 Proto-Indo-European 词根。

同源的还有瑞典语 bomull 、丹麦语 bomuld “棉花”，以及通过土耳其语形式进入的现代希腊语 mpampaki 、罗马尼亚语 bumbac 、塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语 pamuk。德语 baumwolle “棉花”可能源自拉丁语，但被民间俗语改编为“树毛”。波兰语 bawełna 和立陶宛语 bovelna 则是从德语的部分翻译。

从服装或室内装饰用的填充物和垫子，含义扩展到“浮夸的、空洞的言辞”（1580年代）。

Bombast was originally applied to a stuff of soft, loose texture, once used to swell the garment. Fustian was also a kind of cloth of stiff expansive character. These terms are applied to a high, swelling style of writing, full of extravagant sentiments and expressions. Bathos is a word which has the same application, meaning generally the mock heroic—that "depth" into which one falls who overleaps the sublime; the step which one makes in order to pass from the sublime to the ridiculous. [James de Mille, "Elements of Rhetoric," 1878]

“Bombast”最初是指一种柔软、松散的材料，曾用于膨胀衣服。而“Fustian”也是一种具有膨胀性质的硬质布料。这些术语被用于描述一种高耸、浮华的写作风格，充满了奢侈的情感和表达方式。“Bathos”是有同样意义的词，通常指是模拟史诗式的虚伪行为——“跌入”荒谬可笑的深渊之中的，是人们从崇高走向滑稽的那一步。[詹姆斯·德·米勒，“修辞学要素”，1878]

bombast词源英文解释

earlier, "cotton or other material used as padding or stuffing," extension (with parasitic t) of bombace, bombage, going back to Middle English bombace, borrowed from Anglo-French bombés, bombace, borrowed from Medieval Latin bambac-, bambax, bombax (also banbax, bonbax) "cotton plant, cotton fiber or wadding," borrowed from Middle Greek bámbax, pámbax, going back to a Greek stem pambak- (as in pambakís "item of clothing, probably of cotton"), probably borrowed from Middle Persian pambak "cotton" (or from an unknown source from which both words were borrowed) Note: At virtually all stages of this etymon's history there has been formal and semantic confusion with Latin bombyx "silk" and its congeners (hence the o in the English, French, and Latin forms; see note at bombazine), though the two words are very likely of distinct origin. The earliest European occurrence of the "cotton" word is pambakís, denoting an item of apparel in an epigram attributed to Myrinus (1st century b.c.e. or earlier) in the Palatine Anthology (VI, 254). In some manuscripts of Dioscorides' treatise on materia medica (1st century c.e.) bambakoeidḗs "cotton-like" is used in the description of a plant (other witnesses give bombykoeidḗs "silklike"). Greek bámbax and pámbax, as well as a derivative, bambákion, are attested in the 10th-century Byzantine encyclopedia Suda/Souda, which cites the epigram by Myrinus (see Suda On Line at www.stoa.org/sol/). The Medieval Latin forms are well attested in texts of the Salerno medical school, as the Tractatus de aegritudinum curatione, part of the now lost Breslau Codex Salernitanus (ca. 1200); see citations under bombyx, sense 2, in the Mittellateinisches Wörterbuch.

The first known use of bombast was in 1583
