词源
foul (adj.)Old English ful “rotten, unclean, vile, corrupt, offensive to the senses,” from Proto-Germanic *fulaz (source also of Old Saxon and Old Frisian ful, Middle Dutch voul, Dutch vuil, Old High German fül, German faul, Gothic füls), from PIE *pu- (2) “to rot, decay,” perhaps from the sound made in reaction to smelling something bad (see pus).
Old English ful occasionally meant “ugly” (as contrasted with fæger (adj.), modern fair (adj.)), and this sense became frequent in Middle English. The cognate in Swedish is the usual word for “ugly.” Of weather from mid-14c. In the sporting sense of “irregular, unfair, contrary to established rule or practice” it is first attested 1797, though foul play is recorded from mid-15c. Baseball sense of “out of play” attested by 1860.Related entries & more

古英语 ful “腐烂的、不洁的、卑鄙的、腐败的、令人厌恶的”,源自原始日耳曼语 *fulaz(也源自古撒克逊语和古弗里斯兰语 ful、中古荷兰语 voul、荷兰语 vuil、古高地德语fül,德语 faul,哥特语 füls),源自 PIE *pu- (2)“腐烂,腐烂”,可能来自对闻到难闻的东西的反应所发出的声音(参见 pus)。古英语 ful 有时表示“丑陋”(与 fæger(形容词)、现代 fair(形容词)相对),这种含义在中古英语中变得很常见。瑞典语中的同源词是“丑陋”的常用词。 14 世纪中期的天气。就“不规则、不公平、违反既定规则或惯例”的体育意义而言,它于 1797 年首次得到证实,尽管从 15 世纪中期开始就有了犯规行为的记录。 1860 年证实了棒球界的“出局”意识。相关条目及更多内容
