1540年代,“施展幻术或魔法,耍花招的; 欺骗的,具有欺骗性的”,源自拉丁语 praestigious “充满诡计”,来自 praestigiae “杂耍演员的花招”,可能是由 praestrigiae 改变而来,源自 praestringere “使失明,蒙住眼睛,使眼花缭乱”,由 prae “在...之前”(见 pre-)和 stringere “绑,捆绑”(见 strain(v.))组成。直到19世纪,这个词是贬义的,在《世纪词典》(1895)中被标记为过时; 正面的含义“具有令人眼花缭乱的影响力”始于1913年,来自 prestige。相关词汇: Prestigiously; prestigiousness。
