词源：
sullen(adj.)1570s, an alteration of Middle English solein, soleyn “unique, singular, remarkable, strange;” also “solitary, lone, unmarried” (late 14c.), from Anglo-French *solein, formed on the pattern of Old French solain “lonely,” from soul “single,” from Latin solus “by oneself, alone” (see sole (adj.)).
The sense shift from “solitary” to “morose” (i.e. “remaining alone through ill-humor”) beginning late 14c. and the older senses faded. Related: Sullenly; sullenness.
The
sullen man is silent because he is sluggishly angry and somewhat bitter, and he repels friendly advances by silence and a lowering aspect rather than by words. [Century Dictionary]
also from 1570s
