词源
shake-down (n.)also shakedown, 1730, “impromptu bed made upon loose straw,” from the verbal phrase; see shake (v.) + down (adv.). The verbal phrase shake down is attested from late 14c. as “shake into place, compact by shaking” also “cause to totter and fall.” The meaning “forced contribution” (1902) is from the verbal phrase in a slang sense of “blackmail, extort” (1872). Meaning “a thorough search” is from 1914; perhaps from the notion of measuring corn; the verbal sense of “to frisk or search” is by 1915 in police reporting.also from 1730

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
摇晃(n。)也是1730年的“即兴床,用松散的稻草制成”,言语短语;请参阅shake(v。) + down(adv。)。从14c后期证明了言语短语震动。作为“摇晃到位,摇晃,也要紧凑”也“导致摇晃和跌倒”。含义“强制贡献”(1902年)是从“勒索,勒索”(1872)的语中摘自言语短语。意思是“彻底搜索”是从1914年开始的;也许是根据测量玉米的概念;口头上的“ frisk或搜索”是1915年在警察报告中。
