词源
cuff (n.)”bottom of a sleeve,” mid-14c., cuffe “hand covering, mitten, glove,” perhaps from Medieval Latin cuffia, cuphia “head covering,” which is of uncertain origin, perhaps ultimately from Greek.
Sense of “band around the sleeve” is first attested 1520s; sense of “turned-up hem of trousers” is by 1896. Meaning “a fetter for the wrist” is from 1660s. Adverbial phrase off the cuff “extemporaneously” is attested by 1938, American English colloquial, suggesting an actor or speaker reading from notes jotted on his shirt sleeves rather than reciting learned lines. Cuff-links (also cufflinks) is from 1887.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
cuff (n.)“袖子的底部”,14世纪中期,cuffe“手套、连指手套、手套”,可能源自中世纪拉丁语 cuffia、cuphia“头套”,其起源不确定,可能最终源自希腊语。 “袖子上的带子”的感觉在 1520 年代首次得到证实; “翻起的裤子下摆”的意思是1896年出现的。意思是“手腕上的束缚”来自1660年代。即兴副词短语“即席”在 1938 年的美国英语口语中得到了证实,它暗示演员或演讲者朗读写在衬衫袖子上的笔记,而不是背诵学过的台词。袖扣(也称为袖扣)源自 1887 年。相关条目及更多
