英语词汇dish的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

dish. The round, flat quoit that the Romans called the discus probably gives us the word dish for “a plate.” Apparently, Ger- man soldiers jokingly called their mess tins diskaz, after the discus and diskaz passed into English as dish. Dish is not an Americanism for “a pretty or sexy girl,” as many slang diction- aries claim. Shakespeare called Cleopatra Antony’s dish in An- tony and Cleopatra (1606), when Enobarbus remarked of An- tony: “He will to his Egyptian dish again.” Dish also means gos- sip, as in “Don’t read Liz Smith’s memoir for dish.” (Newsweek 9/25/00) The term is probably from the verb dish out, to gossip, or from dish out the dirt, both of which are first recorded in 1926.
