spew (v.)中古英语 speuen,“呕吐、呕吐、吐出或咳出”,也是比喻性的,源自古英语 spiwan “spew,spit”,源自原始日耳曼语 *spiewan-(也源自古撒克逊语 spiwan,古英语北欧斯皮亚语、古弗里斯兰语 spiwa、中古荷兰语 spijen、荷兰语 spuwen、古高地德语 spiwan、德语 speien、哥特语spiewan“吐”),可能源自模仿(比较拉丁语 spuere;希腊语 ptuein,多立克式 psyttein;古教会斯拉夫语 pljuja,俄语 plevati;立陶宛语 spiauti)。在古英语中也作为弱动词 speowan、spiwian;弱形式在中古英语中占主导地位。一般意义上的“像呕吐一样被排出或驱逐”是在 1590 年代。不及物意义是在 1660 年代。相关: 喷出;喷涌而出。相关条目及更多
