词汇 hold
词源

hold [OE] The ancient root of hold probably meant ‘to watch over’. Hold, ‘a large compartment in the lower part of a ship or aircraft’ has a different origin, is Middle English and derives from hole [OE] and is related to hollow [OE], and possibly hull [ME]. The phrase no holds barred [M20th], ‘with no rules or restrictions’, comes from the sport of wrestling. Certain holds, such as gripping round the throat, are banned as too dangerous. Sometimes, though, no-holds-barred contests would be set up where participants could do almost anything they liked.
