語源
(1)Middle English fol
中古英語 fol
(2)from Old French
源自 古法語
(3)from Late Latin follis [windbag, fool]
源自 後期拉丁語 follis [空談家,愚人]
(4)from Latin follis [bellows] * see bhel- 2
源自 拉丁語 follis [風箱] *參見 bhel- 2
註釋
The pejorative nature of the term fool is only strengthened by a knowledge of its etymology. Its source, the Latin word follis, meant 「a bag or sack, a large inflated ball, a pair of bellows.」 Users of the word in Late Latin, however, saw a resemblance between the bellows or the inflated ball and a person who was what we would call 「a windbag」 or 「an airhead.」 The word, which passed into English by way of French, is first recorded in English in a work written around the beginning of the 13th centurywith the sense 「a foolish, stupid, or ignorant person.」
詞語fool 的輕蔑性質只有用它的語源知識才能體會深刻。 它的詞源,拉丁詞fillis 意思是「一個袋子,一個大的充氣球,一對風箱」。 然而在後期拉丁語中此詞使用者發現一個風箱或充氣球與一個我們稱為「空談者」或「自大者」之間有相似之處。這個詞通過法語傳入英語,在英語中最早記錄在一本寫於大約為13世紀初的書中,意思是「笨的,傻的或愚昧的人」
