| 词源 | skit. No one really knows the origin of the word skit, for “a short comical act in a variety show.” A good guess is the Swed- ish skjuta, one of whose meanings is “full of frisks or capers.” The word, first recorded in 1820, may also be a back-formation from skittish, in its sense of lively, humorous. |
