词汇 workaholic
词源
workaholic. American pastoral counselor Wayne Oates coined the word workaholic for “an uncontrollable need to work incessantly,” in 1971, from work and alcoholic. Himself a workaholic who discovered his sickness only when his “five- year-old son asked for an appointment to see him,” Oates pub- lished his Confessions of a Workaholic in 1972. There have since been many similar but less popular constructions, including bookaholic (1977), wordaholic (1978), and hashaholic (1973), someone who uses a lot of marijuana or hashish.
