英语词汇fudge的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

fudge. Isaac D’Israeli, father of the British prime minister, had an interesting story about the word fudge, for “lies or non- sense,” in his Curiosities of Literature (1791): “There was sir, in our time one Captain Fudge, commander of a merchantman, who upon his return from a voyage, how illfrought soever his ship was, always brought home a good cargo of lies, so much that now aboard ship the sailors, when they hear a great lie told, cry out ‘You fudge it!’ A notorious liar named Captain Fudge, called “Lying Fudge,” did live in 17th-century England. His name, possibly in combination with the German word futch, “no good,” may well be the source of the word fudge. Where the word fudge for candy comes from no one seems to know, though it probably dates back to the 19th century.
