英语词汇crud的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

crud. An Americanism dating back to the early 1920s in army use, crud doesn’t come directly from the Middle English crudd, for “coagulated solids of milk, or curds,” even though Shake- speare used the word crudy in this sense. It probably derives from the mispronunciation of the word curdled as cruddled, an- ything curdled or cruddled being undesirable crud. The word first described semen sticking to the body or clothes after sexual intercourse, and was probably so named for this, but is now used mainly as a synonym for feces, or, even more commonly, for “anything dirty, inferior, worthless, ugly, or disgusting.”
