公元13世纪, boie “仆人,平民,流氓”(通常是年轻男性); 公元1300年,“恶棍,暴徒,流氓; 顽童”,14世纪中期作为“青春期前的男孩”(可能是从“顽童”意义上延伸的)。一个起源不明的词。
可能来自古法语 embuie “被束缚的人”,来自通俗拉丁语 *imboiare,来自拉丁语 boia “腿铁,轭,皮颈圈”,来自希腊语 boeiai dorai “牛皮”。(“男孩”的词在印欧语言地图上也有“仆人,侍从”的双重含义——比较意大利语 ragazzo,法语 garçon,希腊语 pais,中古英语 knave,古教会斯拉夫语 otroku ——往往很难说哪个含义先出现。)
但它似乎也与东弗里西亚语 boi “年轻绅士”相同,也许与荷兰语 boef “流氓”相同,来自中古荷兰语 boeve,也许来自中低地德语 buobe。这表明与 babe 之间存在渐进关系。另一个猜测:
In Old English, only the proper name Boia has been recorded. ME boi meant 'churl, servant' and (rarely) 'devil.' In texts, the meaning 'male child' does not antedate 1400. ModE boy looks like a semantic blend of an onomatopoeic word for an evil spirit (*boi) and a baby word for 'brother' (*bo). [Liberman]
在古英语中,只有 Boia 这个专有名词被记录下来。ME boi 的意思是“农夫,仆人”和(很少)“魔鬼”。在文本中,“男孩”的含义不早于1400年。现代英语 boy 看起来像是一个恶魔的拟声词(*boi)和一个“兄弟”的婴儿语词(*bo)的语义混合。[Liberman]
在中古英语中轻蔑地用于年轻男子,也用于熟悉或轻蔑犯罪分子或武装部队中的男子。在一些地方使用“男人”,没有年龄限制(OED 列出了“在康沃尔,爱尔兰,美国西部遥远的地方”)。公元1600年左右出现了“男性黑奴或任何年龄的亚洲个人仆人”的含义。
扩展形式 boyo 出现于1870年。强调的感叹词 oh, boy 出现于1917年。Boy-meets-girl “典型的传统浪漫”来自1945年; 这个短语本身来自1934年的戏剧公式。Boy-crazy “渴望与男性交往”来自1923年。
A noticable number of the modern words for 'boy', 'girl', and 'child' were originally colloquial nicknames, derogatory or whimsical, in part endearing, and finally commonplace. These, as is natural, are of the most diverse, and in part obscure, origin. [Buck]
现代“男孩”,“女孩”和“孩子”的许多词语最初是俚语绰号,贬义或异想天开的,部分是亲昵的,最终变得司空见惯。这些,自然而然地,起源多样,部分含义模糊。[Buck]

1 She took me to the front of the room and spoke to the other boys and girls.
2 A young boy was arrested by the police for robbing passengers.
一名少年因截劫路人被警方拘留.
3 There were over fifteen people, mostly young boys, some girls, and a few adults.
4 I could hear the muffled shouts of the other kids being chased by the boy who was It.
5 For the first few days at Princeton, the boys kicked back and luxuriated in the posh surroundings of the hotel and country club.
6 “Only for a time. You will return. For the boy, if for no other reason.”
7 They wanted to play only with boys, and they made it clear that in their minds it was a mistake that a girl had entered the Maull family.
8 And I didn’t even think, the whole way over there, that they weren’t going to let the O-Hall boys into the dance once we got there, but that’s exactly what was going to happen.
9 “Hardly a fair trade, is it? A head full of coppery curls in return for a living boy? A son?”
10 The boys poking each other and grabbing for the last biscuit.
11 “The boy seems pleasant and well spoken, but...”
12 We two black boys, each working for ten dollars a week, stood staring at each other, thinking, comparing the motives of the absent white man, each asking himself if he could believe the other.
13 “Jesus,” said Mack afterwards talking to the boys.
14 It was cold but not too cold—the boys were standing outside the garage making noise, as usual.
15 The man picked it up and shook it and he sat and pulled the cylinder pin and handed it to the boy.
16 “Will you have more?” asked the boy indifferently.
17 ‘Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,’ said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil.
18 These words coming out of any other boy’s mouth would sound like hyperbole or plain old trash talk, but Boy21 is dead serious.
19 “Look at me when I talk to you, boy,” the first man said.
20 The boy who was eating popcorn asks for a key to the bathroom.
