词汇 | fudge |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1. fudge (v.) 1674, alteration of M.E. fadge "make suit, fit," of unknown origin. The traditional story (attested from 1791) traces fudge in this sense to a Captain Fudge, "who always brought home his owners a good cargo of lies." It seems there really was a late 17c. Captain Fudge, called "Lying Fudge," and perhaps his name influenced the form of fadge in the sense of "contrive without the necessary materials." 2. fudge (n.) 1896, Amer.Eng., perhaps a special use of fudge (v.). Interjection is 1766 (Oh, fudge), and the n. meaning "nonsense" is 1791. |
