约于1500年,及物动词“轻轻移动”(通过空气),可能来自中古荷兰语或中古低地德语,最终源自 wachten “守卫”(可能通过一个船守护另一个船航行的概念),与 waken “从睡梦中唤醒”有关,源自原始日耳曼语 *waht-,源自 PIE 词根 *weg- “强壮,活泼”。可能受到北方方言 waff “使来回移动”的影响(1510年代),是 wave 的变体。自1560年代起,不及物意义出现。相关: Wafted; wafting。
Verb Middle English, perhaps from past participle of Middle English (northern dialect) waffen, by-form of Middle English waven to wave
The first known use of waft was in the 15th century
