14世纪中期, tagilen 的鼻音变体,意为“卷入困境,纠缠”,源自斯堪的纳维亚语(比较方言瑞典语 taggla “混乱”,古诺尔斯语 þongull “海草”),源自原始日耳曼语 *thangul-(源头还包括弗里西亚语 tung,荷兰语 tang,德语 Tang “海草”); 因此,根的最初意义显然是“海草”,作为缠绕(自身、桨、鱼或网)的东西。 “从像 tangle 1 这样使用有限的名词发展出这样的动词有些引人注目,需要证实”[世纪词典]。指物质事物,始于大约1500年。 “与...战斗”是美国英语,首次记录于1928年。 相关: Tangled; tangling。 Tanglefoot(1859年)是西部美国英语俚语,意为“强烈的威士忌酒”。
