| 词汇 | zing |
| 词源 | zing. Zing, in the sense of “to cause to move with a sharp, singing noise,” may derive from baseball, where a pitcher often zings a fastball over the plate. There’s no firm proof of this, though. The word, first recorded in 1910, might also derive from the sound of an arrow shot in archery, or even that of a ri- fle shot. |
