英语词汇archy的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	archy
词源	archy. Perhaps the only and certainly the most humorous cockroach in American literature. He was invented by satirist Don Marquis (1878–1937) for the author’s newspaper columns, along with archy’s friend mehitabel the cat, both of their names uncapitalized. The inspired cockroach writes free verse because he can’t work a typewriter shift key. The cat’s motto is toujours gai, “always gay, merry.” Their adventures were first collected in 1927.
