Dictionary of American Biography
dab hand能手,内行
早在14世纪, dabben “敲打”,起源不明,可能是模拟声音。与古诺尔斯语 dabba “轻拍,拍打”相比较。现代意义上的“用手轻轻敲打,用轻微而快速的压力敲打”在16世纪中叶发展起来,受到了法语 dauber 的影响(见 daub)。相关词汇: Dabbed; dabbing; dabber。
作为名词,从公元1300年开始,“用武器猛击”,后来指“用手或柔软物质轻轻击打”(1755年)。意思是“柔软物质的小块或小团”来自1749年。Dab hand 是英国俚语,起源于1828年,来自 dab “专家,知识渊博的人”(1690年代),据牛津英语词典称为“学校俚语”,起源不明,可能来自“轻轻敲打”的意义。与 dabster 相比较,后者既指“专家”(1708年),也指“拙手”(1871年,可能与 daub 混淆)。
