chubby 的词源
chubby(adj.)
“肥胖、圆润、丰满”,这个词最早出现在1610年代,字面意思是“像鲶鱼一样”,源自chub,一种短而粗的鱼,加上-y(2)。可能受到古诺尔斯语kumba(“木头”)和kumben(“树桩状”)的影响。
ME chubbe ... was also used of a "lazy, spiritless fellow; a rustic, simpleton; dolt, fool" (1558), whilst Bailey has " Chub, a Jolt-head, a great-headed, full-cheeked Fellow," a description reminiscent of that of the chevin, another name for the chub ... Thus the nickname may have meant either "short and thick, dumpy like a chub," or "of the nature of a chub, dull and clownish." ["Dictionary of English Surnames"]
中世纪英语中,chubbe也用来形容“懒惰、无精打采的人;乡下人、傻瓜、愚人”(1558年),而Bailey则描述Chub为“一个大脑袋、丰满脸颊的家伙”,这个描述让人联想到chevin,鲶鱼的另一个名字……因此,这个绰号可能意味着“矮胖,像鲶鱼一样”,或者“像鲶鱼一样,迟钝而滑稽”。[《英语姓氏词典》]
