词源：
oblique (adj.)early 15c., “slanting, sloping, sideways; crooked, not straight or direct,” originally of muscles or eyes, from Old French oblique (14c.) and directly from Latin obliquus “slanting, sidelong, indirect,” which is perhaps from ob “against” (see ob-) + root of licinus “bent upward,” from a PIE root meaning “to bend, be movable,” the source of see limb (n.1). But De Vaan writes, “The etymology is unknown. Closest in form and meaning are līmus ‘transverse’ and sublīmis ‘transverse from below upward’, and the latter would be morphologically similar to oblīquus. Yet a root *lī- with different suffixes *-mo- and *-kwo- does not immediately make sense, and has no clear connections outside Italic.”
Figurative sense of “indirect” is from early 15c. As a noun in anatomy in reference to a type of muscle the direction of whose fibers is oblique to the long axis of the body or to the long axis of the part acted, by 1838. Related: Obliquely; obliqueness.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
oblique (adj.) 15世纪早期，“倾斜的、倾斜的、侧向的；弯曲的，不直的或直接的”，最初指肌肉或眼睛，源自古法语 oblique (14c.)，直接源自拉丁语 obliquus“倾斜的、侧向的、间接的、 ” 可能来自 ob“反对”（参见 ob-）+ licinus 词根“向上弯曲”，来自 PIE 词根，意为“弯曲，可移动”，参见“肢体”（n.1）的来源。但 De Vaan 写道，“词源未知。形式和含义最接近的是 līmus ‘横向’ 和 sublīmis ‘从下向上横向’，后者在形态上与 oblīquus 相似。然而，词根 *lī- 具有不同的后缀 * -mo- 和 *-kwo- 没有立即意义，并且在斜体之外没有明确的联系。” “间接”的比喻意义是从15世纪初期开始的。 1838 年，作为解剖学名词，指一种肌肉，其纤维方向倾斜于身体的长轴或作用部位的长轴。倾斜度。相关条目及更多
