Originally, to put to confusion from any strong emotion, whether of fear, of wonder, shame, or admiration, but restricted in modern times to effect of shame. [Hensleigh Wedgwood, "A Dictionary of English Etymology," 1859]
最初,这个词的意思是因强烈情感而感到困惑,无论是恐惧、惊奇、羞愧还是钦佩,但在现代,它的用法已被限制为仅指因羞愧而感到困惑。[Hensleigh Wedgwood, "A Dictionary of English Etymology," 1859]
