Dunder是什么意思,为什么人们要用这个词委婉地羞辱人?唉,这也是众多尚未弄清词源的单词之一。Dunder可能起源于荷兰语donder,意思是“雷声”,但还没有确切的证据。我们可以肯定的是,很多表示“愚蠢”、“蠢人”的单词都是以-headed或-head结尾的。比如下面列出的部分单词:airhead, blockhead, bonehead, bullhead, bubblehead, buffle-headed, butthead, chucklehead, deadhead, fathead, flathead, hammerhead, heavy-headed, idleheaded, ironhead, jolt-headed, jughead, knucklehead, loggerheaded, lunkhead, meathead, muddlehead, pinhead, pinheaded, ramhead, saphead, sheepheaded, sheepshead, thickhead, wooden-headed都表示“愚蠢”、“迟钝”或“呆子”的意思。
5. Addlepated (adj.) [ 'ædl,peitid ]
Definition: stupid and confused, mixed up, or eccentric
释义:头脑不清的,愚蠢的,怪僻的
The pate portion of addlepated comes from an older word for "head," in use since Middle English, and of uncertain origin. The addle portion may be traced back to the Old English word adela, meaning “filth, filthy or foul-smelling place.” As an adjective addle first had the meaning of “foul smelling and putrid” (specifically said of an egg), and later came to mean “confused or muddled.”
Addlepated的前半部分来自于中古英语中表示“头部”的单词,其词源不能确定。Addle可能起源于古英语单词adela,意思是“肮脏、污秽和恶臭的地方”,做形容词时最早用来形容“恶臭的、腐烂的气味”(尤指臭鸡蛋的味道),后来又包含了“困惑的、混乱的”意思。
