Though the verb waft usually involves movement through air, it has watery roots. A “wafter” was a convoy ship in the 16th century, and these words may have derived from the similar looking wave. Waft can refer to scents, sounds, and even smoke. So, if your grandmother’s sauce begins to burn, smoke could waft from the kitchen as well.

虽然动词“waft”通常涉及空气中的运动，但它有水性根源。 “wafter”是 16 世纪的护航船，这些词可能源自外观相似的波浪。 Waft可以指气味、声音，甚至烟雾。因此，如果你祖母的酱汁开始燃烧，厨房也会冒烟。

词源：
waft (v.)c. 1500, transitive, “to move gently” (through the air), probably from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German, ultimately from wachten “to guard” (perhaps via notion of a ship that guards another as it sails), related to waken “rouse from sleep,” from Proto-Germanic *waht-, from PIE root *weg- “to be strong, be lively.” Possibly influenced by northern dialect waff “cause to move to and fro” (1510s), a variant of wave. Intransitive sense from 1560s. Related: Wafted; wafting.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
飘动 (v.)c. 1500，及物，“轻轻地移动”（通过空气），可能源自中古荷兰语或中古低地德语，最终源自 wachten“守卫”（可能是通过一艘船在航行时守卫另一艘船的概念），与唤醒“从睡眠中醒来”，源自原始日耳曼语 *waht-，源自 PIE 词根 *weg- “要坚强，要活泼。”可能受到北方方言 waff “cause to move to and fro”（1510 年代）的影响，waff 是 wave 的一种变体。 1560 年代的不及物意义。相关：飘扬；飘逸。相关条目及更多
