15世纪晚期,“转移注意力,欺骗,愚弄”,源自古法语 amuser “愚弄,戏弄,欺骗,诱捕; 取笑”,字面意思是“引起沉思”(作为一种分心),由 a “在,到”(来自拉丁语 ad,但在这里可能是一种因果前缀)和 muser “沉思,凝视”(见 muse(v.))组成。
最初的英语意义已经过时; 从1630年代开始记录“转移注意力,引起兴趣”的意义,但在18世纪之前,主要意义是通过首先占据注意力来“欺骗,欺诈”。 “这个词在1600年之前没有被广泛使用,也没有被莎士比亚使用”[OED]。 Bemuse 保留了更多的原始含义。希腊语 amousos 的意思是“没有缪斯女神”,因此是“未受教育的”。
Middle French amuser, from Old French, from a- (from Latin ad-) + muser to muse
