Gallivant, which is first recorded in English in 1819, is thought possibly to be an alteration of the wordgallant, "to play the gallant or dandy, flirt,”under the influence of the wordlevant, "to leave quickly and secretly, especially as a gambler might do to avoid payment of debts.”The wordlevant may hark back to the notion of the Levant, the countries of the Near East, as a far-off place where someone might go to hide. In French the phrasefaire voile en Levant, which means literally "to sail into the Levant,” actually means "to be stolen.”When a person gallivanted,the person was at one time playing the gallant, perhaps with the intention of stealing away with a heart or two.One can still gallivant with others or simply gallivant on one's own.好向女人献殷勤的男人和赌博并不是不相干，就如同gallivant 的历史所表明的一样。 Gallivant 一词于1819年第一次收录进英语， 被认为可能是gallant 的变体， 意为“调情；卖弄风情”，并受到词语levant 的影响， 其意为“迅速而秘密地离去，尤指一个赌徒为了逃避赌债可能做的。”单词levant 可追溯到黎凡特的概念，指作为有人想要躲藏的遥远地方的近东一些国家。 在法语中短语faire voile en Levant 字面含义为“航行到黎凡特，” 实际意思为“被偷了。”当一个人调情时，他调一次情却可能有意偷走一两颗心。一个人可能还会与别人调情或只是与自己的情人调情 |
