词汇 run riot
词源
run riot. The Master of Game, a hunting manual published in 1410, explains in part that to run riot was originally a term de- scribing a hunting dog who lost the scent of the animal he was chasing and began acting unruly and undisciplined—running after other animals instead of the intended quarry. Over the next century the phrase came to be used figuratively for anyone acting without constraint or control.
