Flim may be related to the Old Norse wordflim, meaning "a lampoon, libel.”Flimsy 的词源虽然不确定， 但并不是完全不清楚。这个单词在17世纪首次用英语记载于一本行话字典里，即记载如小偷和乞丐等人所使用的隐语的字典。它最初的意思是“脆弱的”和“轻微的”，其形式可能与flim-flam 有联系， 首次记载大约是在1538年。Flim-flam 作名词时意思为“一句无意义的或无聊的话，” 作形容词时可当作“琐屑的，无意义的”讲。 Flim-flam 本身是一个重叠词，fl-m 这样形式出现两次， 第一次是与语音（i）组合；第二次是与语音（a）组合。 Flim 可能与古斯堪的纳维亚语flim 有关， 其意思为“讽刺，诽谤”〔villainous〕a villainous band of thieves.一群恶棍一样的小偷〔flock〕 cast, the number of hawks or falcons cast off at one time, usually a pair;cete, a company of badgers; covert, a flock of coots; covey, a family of grouse, partridges, or other game birds; drift, a drove or herd, especially of hogs; exaltation, a flight of larks; fall, a family of woodcock in flight; gam, a school of whales, or a social congregation of whalers, especially at sea; kennel, a number of hounds or dogs housed in one place or under the same ownership; kindle, a brood or litter, especially of kittens; litter, the total number of offspring produced at a single birth by a multiparous mammal; muster, a flock of peacocks; nide, a brood of pheasants; pod, a small herd of seals or whales; pride, a company of lions; rout, a company of people or animals in movement, especially knights or wolves; school, a congregation of fish, or aquatic mammals such as dolphins or porpoises; shrewdness, a company of apes; skein, a flight of wildfowl, especially geese; skulk, a congregation of vermin, especially foxes, or of thieves;sloth, a company of bears; sord, a flight of mallards; sounder, a herd of wild boar; stable, a number of horses housed in one place or under the same ownership; swarm, a colony of insects, such as ants, bees, or wasps, especially when migrating to a new nest or hive;troop, a number of animals, birds, or people, especially when on the move; warren, the inhabitants, such as rabbits, of a warren; watch, a flock of nightingales; andwisp, a flock of birds, especially of snipe.

We know this becausekid and napper, the two parts of the compound, were slang of the sort that criminals might use. Kid, which some still find slangy, was considered low slang when kidnapper was formed, and napper is obsolete slang for a thief, coming from the verbnap, "to seize a person or thing, steal.” Nap is possibly a variant ofnab, which still has a slangy ring to it.In 1678, the year in which the word is first recorded,kidnappers plied their trade on behalf of plantations in colonies such as the ones in North America.The term later took on the broader sense that it has today.The verbkidnap is recorded later (1682) than the noun and so is possibly a back-formation,that is, people have assumed that a kidnapper kidnaps.Kidnapper 似乎恰好源于犯这种罪的人。 我们知道这个复合词的两个部分kid 和 napper 是这种罪犯们可能用的俚语。 Kidnapper 形成时 kid 被认为是低等的俚语，现在kid仍有俚语性质， napper 是指小偷的废弃的俚语， 从动词nap 而来， 指“抓住人或东西，偷。” Nap 可能是nab 的变体， 它也仍有俚语的性质。1678年这个词在英语中第一次记录时，绑架者为了如北美的殖民地种植园的利益进行了大量绑架。这个词后来又有象今天这么广的含义，动词kidnap 比名词记录要晚（1682年）， 所以可能是逆构词，也就是人们认为“绑架者”会绑架〔hold〕The dam held the floodwaters. Thieves held the stolen painting for ransom.水库控制着洪水。小偷用偷来的画索取赎金〔Barabbas〕In the New Testament, the condemned thief whose release, instead of that of Jesus, was demanded of Pilate by the multitude.巴拉巴斯：《新约》中被判刑的小偷，民众要求彼拉特释放他而处死耶稣〔gang〕as in thjofagangr [gang of thieves] 如在 thjofagangr [一群小偷] 〔help〕The thief helped himself to our family silver.小偷窃取了我家的银子〔make〕made for home; made after the thief.回家；追赶小偷〔dead〕The police caught the thief dead to rights with my silverware.警察抓住了正在偷我银器的小偷〔blind〕Thieves in the bazaar robbed us blind.集市上的小偷洗劫了我们的钱财〔break〕a prowler who was trying to break in.企图非法闯入的小偷〔furuncle〕Latin fūrunculus [knob on a vine that "steals" the sap] [diminutive of] fūr [thief] * see bher- 1拉丁语 fūrunculus [“抢取”了树液的葡萄藤上的结] fūr的小后缀 [小偷] * 参见 bher- 1〔yegg〕A thief, especially a burglar or safecracker.窃贼：小偷，尤指夜盗者或撬盗保险箱者〔put〕a mob that put the thief to flight.迫使小偷逃跑的群众〔out〕picked out the thief in the crowd.在人群中认出了小偷〔furtive〕from fūr [thief] * see bher- 1源自 fūr [小偷] * 参见 bher- 1〔picklock〕A person who picks locks, especially a thief.撬锁贼，窃贼：撬锁的人，尤指小偷〔lose〕chased the thieves but lost them.追踪小偷，但被甩掉了 |
