註釋
One of the more fascinating journeys in the histories of words is the one that links nest and inkling. We begin this journey with the Indo-European root nizdo-, which by way of Germanic .nist- will give us nest but also leads to Latin no, 「nest.」 From Latin nos may come Old French (and modern French) niche, meaning 「niche.」 It is possible that in Old French a variant form existed that was borrowed into Middle English as nik, meaning 「a notch, tally.」 This word seems related to the Middle English word nikken, which may mean 「to mark a text for correction,」 and nikking, 「a hint, slight indication,」 or possibly 「a whisper, mention.」 The word nikking appears only once, in a Middle English text composed around 1400, as does the word ningkiling, found in another copy of the same text. It is possible that ningkiling is from nikking. Furthermore, it is probable that people divided a ninkling incorrectly and got an inkling, just as they did with a napron, getting an apron. If all this has indeed happened, inkling has come a long way from the nest.
在單詞的演變史中，從nest 到 inkling 是一個有趣的過程。 我們從印歐語系詞根nizdo- 開始， 通過日耳曼語的nist- 變為我們的 nest ， 也衍生出拉丁語的nidus ，「巢」之意。 從拉丁語的nidus 有了古法語（和現代法語）中的 niche ，表示「壁龕」。 有可能在法語中有一個變體是從中古英語的nik （刻痕，計分）變化而來。 這個詞看來與中古英語中的nikken 一詞有關， 它的意思是「為改正一篇文字而做記號」， 也與nikking 有關，意為「暗示，輕微指示」或也可能是「低聲說話，提及」之意。 在一篇1400年左右所作的中古英語文章中，hikking 只出現了一次， 在同樣內容的另一份版本中ningkiling 也只出現了一次。 所以有可能ninkiling 是由 nikking 變化而來。 此外，很有可能人們錯誤地將a ninkling 分開從而得到 an inkling ， 就像人們錯誤地處理a napron 從而得到 an apron 一樣。 如果所有這些真的發生了，inkling 一詞從其巢穴走了一條長長的演變之路
