mooch词源中文解释

15世纪中期,“假装贫穷”,可能来自古法语 muchier, mucier “隐藏,生闷气,隐瞒,躲藏”,这是一个起源不明的词,可能来自凯尔特语或日耳曼语(利伯曼更喜欢后者,克莱因则更喜欢前者)。还可以比较中古英语 michen “偷窃(小东西)”,15世纪中期,可能来自古英语 *mycan(比较古高地德语 muhhan “抢劫,伏击,埋伏”)。或者这个词可能是中古英语 mucchen “囤积,吝啬”的变体(约1300年),最初可能是“把硬币放在夜帽里”,来自 mucche “夜帽”,源自中古荷兰语 muste “帽子,夜帽”,最终来自中世纪拉丁语 almucia,这也是一个起源不明的词。1857年记录了“依赖他人”的意义。

无论 mooch 的远古起源如何,[日耳曼语]动词 *mycan 及其同源词至少已经成为欧洲俚语两千年了。[利伯曼]

它似乎是一个非常持久的俚语。相关词汇: Mooched; mooching。作为“乞丐”的名词,从1914年开始使用; 作为“乞讨行为”,从1867年开始使用。
