大约于1610年,“法律诡辩,诡计,卑鄙小把戏”,源自法语 chicanerie “诡计”,源自15世纪的 chicaner “为琐事争辩”,其起源不明,可能来自中古低地德语 schikken “安排,实现”,或来自曾在朗格多克地区玩的一种高尔夫球类似的游戏的名称。还可参考法语 chic “小的,少的”,作为名词“小块; 精妙,微妙”。桑顿的“美国词汇表”有 shecoonery(1845),它描述它可能是 chicanery 的变形。
borrowed from French chicanerie "quibbling on minor points of law brought up to complicate a judicial case," going back to Middle French chiquanerie, from chicaner "to dispute by means of quibbles," earlier "to sue, prosecute" + -erie -ery — more at chicane >entry 1 Note: Randle Cotgrave's French-English dictionary (1611) defines chicanerie as "wrangling, pettifogging; litigious, or craftie pleading; the perplexing of a cause with trickes; or the pestering thereof with (subtile, but) impertinent words."
The first known use of chicanery was in 1589
