短释义：
We get squeamish from the Anglo-French word escoimous, meaning disdainful or shy. It can mean shy of blood or gore, or less often, it is used to describe a prissy kind of fear of confrontation with others.

If you’re squeamish about confronting the noisy neighbors, why not slip a note under their door asking them to pipe down?

词源：
squeamish(adj.)late 14c., squaimish, “physically repelled; excessively fastidious,” a variant (with -ish) of squaimous, squoymous “disdainful, fastidious” (early 14c.), from Anglo-French escoymous, which is of unknown origin.
He was somdel squaymous
Of fartyng, and of speche daungerous
[Chaucer, “Miller’s Tale,” c. 1386]
A variant squeamy is attested by 1838. Century Dictionary suggests the sense of “slightly nauseated, apt to be nauseated” (1650s) is in part by association with qualmish “slightly nauseated” (see qualm). The historical forms of the word illustrate qu-/squ- alterations (compare squash (v.)); the variant squeasy (1580s) seems to be by influence of queasy. “Mark Twain” (1867) uses squalmish in reference to a sense of seasickness. Related: Squeamishly; squeamishness.also from late 14c.
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
squeamish(adj.)late 14c., squaimish,“身体上排斥;过度挑剔”，squaimous,squaymous“轻蔑的，挑剔的”（14世纪早期）的变体（带-ish），来自英法escoymous，来源不明。他是 somdel squaymous 放屁的，而且是 sphe 危险的 [乔叟，“米勒的故事”，c. 1386] 1838 年证实了一种变体的吱吱声。《世纪词典》表明“轻微恶心，容易恶心”（1650 年代）的含义部分与疑虑的“轻微恶心”相关（参见疑虑）。这个词的历史形式说明了qu-/squ-的变化（比较squash (v.)）；变体squay（1580s）似乎是受到了恶心的影响。 《马克·吐温》（1867）用“squalmish”来形容晕船的感觉。相关：神经质；娇气。也是从 14 世纪末开始。
