| 词汇 | warren |
| 词源 | warren. Just as George Bernard Shaw’s play Mrs. Warren’s Profession resulted in the coining of comstockery, it also gave rise to the word warren, for “a prostitute,” after the title charac- ter in the play. The earlier warren, for “a brothel,” origin un- known but dating back to the late 17th century, may have rein- forced the usage. |
