| 词汇 | quaff |
| 词源 | quaff. The obsolete German word quassen, meaning the same, probably gives us our quaff, “to drink heartily.” The word is spelled wrong (quaff instead of quass) because “the long s’s— in print exactly like f ’s without the cross-stroke—were mistaken for f ’s” at some unknown date. |
