英语词汇uncouth的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	uncouth
词源	uncouth. Couth, originally meaning “known or familiar,” dates back before Chaucer’s day. Its antonym uncouth is just as old, the word being used in Beowulf for “unknown or unfamil- iar.” The dislike of the unfamiliar, of strangers, foreigners, is probably responsible for the change in the word’s meaning over the years to unseemly, awkward, uncultured, etc.
