短释义：
Before it came to mean “extremely cautiously” in 1600, gingerly meant “elegantly, daintily.” In fact, it stems from the Latin word gentius, meaning “(well)-born.” But today it has less to do with elegance and more to do with a delicate touch, usually used to avoid hurting something or someone. For example, you might want to gingerly hug your friend with the broken rib to avoid making her wince in pain.
如果某件事需要非常小心谨慎地去做，你应该小心翼翼地去做——就像小心翼翼地抱着一个刚出生的婴儿，或者当你试图溜出去时小心翼翼地爬下吱吱作响的楼梯。

1600 年，在它的意思是“极其谨慎”之前，“giterly”的意思是“优雅、精致”。事实上，它源于拉丁语 gentius，意思是“（良好）出生”。但如今，它不再与优雅有关，而更多地与微妙的接触有关，通常用于避免伤害某物或某人。例如，你可能想小心翼翼地拥抱肋骨骨折的朋友，以免她痛苦地皱眉。
