註釋
The origin of flimsy, although uncertain, is not completely obscure. The word is first recorded in English in the 17th century in a dictionary of cant, the jargon of people such as thieves and beggars. Its early senses 「frail」 and 「trivial」 as well as its form may link it with flim-flam, recorded first around 1538. The noun flim-flam could mean 「a piece of nonsense or idle talk,」 and the adjective could mean 「frivolous.」 Flim-flam itself is a reduplication in which the pattern fl—m occurs twice, the first time with the sound (1); the second, with the sound (2). Flim may be related to the Old Norse word flim, meaning 「a lampoon, libel.」
Flimsy 的詞源雖然不確定， 但並不是完全不清楚。這個單詞在17世紀首次用英語記載於一本行話字典裡，即記載如小偷和乞丐等人所使用的隱語的字典。它最初的意思是「脆弱的」和「輕微的」， 其形式可能與flim-flam 有聯繫， 首次記載大約是在1538年。Flim-flam 作名詞時意思為「一句無意義的或無聊的話，」 作形容詞時可當作「瑣屑的，無意義的」講。Flim-flam 本身是一個重疊詞，fl-m 這樣形式出現兩次， 第一次是與語音（i）組合；第二次是與語音（a）組合。Flim 可能與古斯堪的納維亞語flim 有關， 其意思為「諷刺，誹謗」
