Scots and Irish dialect also have a sense "a fight,”which may help connect the word and the sense "lively outing" with the Scots wordspreath, meaning variously, "booty,” "cattle taken as spoils,” "a herd of cattle taken in a raid,” and "cattle raid.” The Scots word comes from Irish and Scottish Gaelicspréidh, "cattle,” which in turn ultimately comes from Latin praeda, "booty.” This last link reveals both the importance of the Latin language to Gaelicand a connection between cattle and plunder in earlier Irish and Scottish societies.狂欢作乐似乎与牛的袭击相去甚远,然而词源学表明spree 来自苏格兰语 spreath “牛的袭击”。 Spree 在1804年首次出现于苏格兰方言写成的一首诗中,意为“活跃的出游”。 这个意思与不久之后(1811年)出现的意思“狂饮”很接近,而相近的意思“无节制的狂热行为”,比如spending spree 于1849年出现。 苏格兰和爱尔兰方言还有“打架”的意思,这可能有助于将该词同其意义与苏格兰语spreath 的不同意思相联系,这些意思为“战利品”、“作为掠夺品的牛”、“袭击中所得的一群牛”或“牛袭击”。 这个苏格兰词来自爱尔兰和苏格兰盖尔人的语言 spréidh “牛”(此词最终源自拉丁语 praeda “战利品”)。 这一最后的联系不仅表明拉丁语同盖尔语的重要联系,也表明早期爱尔兰和苏格兰社会中牛和劫掠的联系〔revel〕Middle English revelen [to carouse] 中古英语 revelen [狂欢作乐] 〔binge〕To be immoderately self-indulgent and unrestrained:狂欢作乐:不加节制地自我放纵和不加约束: |
