短释义：
Rarely used before the 17th century, this adjective came about by adding a “y” to the word murk. Murk itself evolved from myrkr, a Norse word for “darkness.” Things that are murky are unclear; that goes for murky, sediment-filled lakes, shady business deals, and arguments that don’t seem to make any sense.
模糊的东西是暗淡的、阴暗的或难以看清的。想象一下鬼屋周围的黑雾或沼泽中浑浊的泥水。
长释义：
Rarely used before the 17th century, this adjective came about by adding a “y” to the word murk. Murk itself evolved from myrkr, a Norse word for “darkness.” Things that are murky are unclear; that goes for murky, sediment-filled lakes, shady business deals, and arguments that don’t seem to make any sense.
这个形容词在 17 世纪之前很少使用，是在 murk 一词后添加“y”而产生的。 Murk 本身是从 myrkr 演变而来的，myrkr 是挪威语，意思是“黑暗”。浑浊的事物是不清楚的；浑浊的、充满沉积物的湖泊、阴暗的商业交易以及似乎没有任何意义的争论都是如此。
