英语词汇junket的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

junket. “The term junket in America is generally applied to a trip taken by an American official at the expense of the govern- ment he serves so nobly and unselfishly,” noted a Detroit Free Press writer in 1886. The Americanism had been used similarly by Washington Irving in 1809. Our junket comes from the Brit- ish junket, for “a banquet,” which may derive from the old Nor- man word jonquette, meaning a reed basket in which fish and other things were carried, or “in which sweet cream cheese was brought into town for sale.” Jonquette, in turn, comes from the Latin juncus, “a reed.”
