约于1200年,“用于施加痛苦或惩罚的鞭子,用于折磨的鞭子”,源自盎格鲁-法语 scorge, escorge,由古法语 scurge, eschurge 的反构词形成而来,“鞭子,鞭打,皮带”,源自 escorgier “鞭打”,该词源自通俗拉丁语 *excorrigiare。这是拉丁语 ex- “出,离开”,或者在这里可能是强调(见 ex-) + corrigia “皮带,鞋带”,在晚期拉丁语中是“缰绳”,在这里引申为“鞭子”。这可能[Barnhart]源自与古爱尔兰语 cuimrech “脚镣”相关的高卢语词汇,源自 PIE 词根 *reig- “绑”(见 rig(v.))。
比喻用法始于14世纪后期,圣经中,“惩罚,惩罚性的施加”; 还有“鞭打或摧毁的人或物”。14世纪后期有 Scourge of God(拉丁语 flagellum Dei),后代赋予给匈人的阿提拉(406-453 C.E.),见于14世纪后期(Goddes scourge)。
Noun Middle English, from Anglo-French escorge, from escorger to whip, from Vulgar Latin *excorrigiare, from Latin ex- + corrigia thong, whip
The first known use of scourge was in the 13th century
