大约1400年,来自古法语 hesitacion 或直接来自拉丁语 haesitationem(主格 haesitatio)“犹豫,口吃”,比喻“犹豫不决,不确定”,动作名词,来自 haesitare 的过去分词词干“粘住,固定; 口吃”,比喻“犹豫,不决,迷茫,犹豫不决”, haesitare 是 haerere(过去分词 haesus,第一人称完美时态 haesi)的频率动词,意为“粘着,固定,紧贴”。
Watkins 认为这源自 PIE 词根 *ghais- “粘着,犹豫”(源头还包括立陶宛语 gaišti “拖延,耽搁,缓慢”),但一些语言学家拒绝了这种联系; de Vaan 没有提供词源学。
