词汇 | mullet |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1. mullet (1) "edible, spiny-finned fish," c.1440, from Anglo-Fr. molett, from O.Fr. mulet, from M.L. muletus, from L. mulettus, from mullus "red mullet," from Gk. myllos a marine fish, related to melos "black" (see melanin). 2. mullet (2) "hairstyle short on top and long in back," 1996, perhaps from mullet-head "stupid, dull person" (1857), also the name of a type of U.S. freshwater fish with a large, flat head (1866). The term in ref. to the haircut seemed to emerge into pop culture with the Beastie Boys song "Mullet Head"."#1 on the side and don't touch the back #6 on the top and don't cut it wack, Jack" [Beastie Boys, "Mullet Head"] As a surname, Mullet is attested from 1275, thought to be a dim. of O.Fr. mul "mule." |
