英语词汇mosey的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	mosey
词源	mosey. According to Webster’s and most authorities the Spanish vamos, “let’s go,” became vamoose in American En- glish, which begot the slang word mosey, “to stroll or saunter about leisurely.” But it is possible, one theory holds, that the word instead takes its name “from the slouching manner of wandering Jewish peddlers in the West, many of whom were called Moses, Mose, or Mosey.” Neither explanation seems ide- al, but nothing better has been offered.
