| 词汇 | fit as a fiddle |
| 词源 | fit as a fiddle. Someone or something that is fit as a fiddle is, of course, in great shape. The common expression is about 400 years old, first recorded in 1616 in England, but that is all we know about its etymology. Perhaps a fiddle was considered fit because musicians almost always treated their instruments, the source of their livelihood, with tender, loving care. |
