英语词汇jolly roger的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Jolly Roger. French buccaneers may have flown a flag called the joli rouge (“pretty red”) and this term may have been cor- rupted to “Jolly Roger” by English pirates when they transferred it to their black flag. Jolly Roger could, however, derive from the 17th-century English word roger, meaning “rogue or devil.” Or it may come from the widely used Tamil title Ali Raja, meaning “king of the sea”—English pirates at first pronouncing “Ali Raja” as “Ally Roger,” then “Olly Roger” and, finally, “Jolly Roger.”
