英语词汇rehash的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

rehash. Englishmen have been using the expression hash to mean “old matter served up in a different form” almost as long as they have used hash for meat cut up into small pieces, a word that derives from the French word hache, “hatchet.” In 1672, for instance, Andrew Marvell complained about writers serving “the Reader continually the cold Hashes of plain repetition.” It was another two centuries, however, before some wit coined the word rehash, meaning the same. More effective, the term suggests a hash made from leftovers that is served once, then warmed over and served at least once again.
