beggars description
"乞讨者",尤指以乞讨为生的人,约于公元1200年,源自古法语 begart,“Beghards 的成员”,即在低地国家的一个乞讨兄弟 Mendicant order 中的一个散修修会,源自中古荷兰语 beggaert “乞讨者”,这个词的起源不确定,带有蔑称后缀(参见 -ard)。这个普通名词可能源自某个专有名词,比较 Beguine。早期的民间词源将这个英语词与 bag 联系在一起,但这种说法现在被否定了(参见 OED)。
从14世纪中叶起,“贫穷的人”(无论是否乞讨)开始有用法。从公元1300年左右起,“卑鄙的人”也有这个意思; 而在1833年,它成为“伙伴,男人”在口语中的一个通用称呼。带有 -ar 的形式可追溯到14世纪,但在15世纪至17世纪, begger 更常用。女性形式 beggestere 作为一个姓氏,可追溯到公元1300年左右。 Beggar's velvet 是“灰尘兔”的一个古老名称。
Noun Middle English beggere, beggare, from beggen "to beg >entry 1" + -ere, -are -er >entry 2 Verb Middle English beggeren, verbal derivative of beggere beggar >entry 1
The first known use of beggar was in the 13th century
