英语词汇whodunit的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	whodunit
词源	whodunit. Two writers for the show business paper Variety are usually proposed as the coiners of the word whodunit, for “a mystery story”: Sime Silverman, in 1936, or Wolfe Kaufman in 1935. But the term wasn’t invented by either of them. Daniel Gordon used whodunit in the July 1930 American News of Books and probably used it first.
