Noun
1. a very boastful and talkative person
Adjective
1. exhibiting self-importance;
"big talk"
"吹牛者",1570年代,曾被称为 braggard,源自16世纪的法语 bragard,带有贬义后缀(参见 -ard),加上 braguer “炫耀,吹嘘”,可能最初是“炫耀衣服,特别是马裤”,源自 brague “马裤”(参见 bracket(n.))。这其中可能有一些炫耀裤裆的元素。
也作形容词,“虚荣的,自夸的”(1610年代)。这个词在英语中至少受到了 brag(v.)的影响,即使像一些人声称的那样,它与之无关。英语中的 Bragger “傲慢或自夸的人”,是从14世纪后期的 brag(v.)派生出来的,实际上已经成为这个词的变体。
in part from brag >entry 1 + -art, in part borrowed from Middle French bragard "excessively proud," from braguer "to be proud," derivative of brague "liveliness, boastfulness," perhaps from bragues "breeches, leggings" — more at bracket >entry 1
The first known use of braggart was circa 1577
