词源 |
debauch. To debauch someone was originally to entice him away from duty or the service of his master. According to one theory, corrupt friends persuaded workers in small French shops known as bauches to go off on sprees, that is, enticed them from the bauche, or debauched them. The word passed into English in the early 16th century as debauch, coming to mean any excessive indulgence in sensual pleasure. |
