英语词汇fey的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	fey
词源	fey. Fey usually means “being in unnaturally high spirits, or unreal, enchanted,” as in “elves and other fey creatures.” In times past someone who suddenly acted so lighthearted was thought to be on the point of death, fey deriving from the Anglo-Saxon faege, “on the verge of death.” Fey has recently become a deroga- tory synonym for effeminate, perhaps from being associated with fairy.
