英语词汇debut的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

debut. Debut, from the French début and meaning “from the mark,” was originally a gaming term in French signifying the opening move in a game, similar to the English “your move” in chess, or “your play” in cards. From the old gambling term came the French verb debuter, “to lead off in a game,” which in time was extended into “to make one’s first appearance,” this last being the word’s only meaning ever since debut was first re- corded in one of Lord Chesterfield’s letters in 1752.
