英语词汇garbage的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

garbage. There are several possibilities here. Wrong as usual, folk etymology has it that garbage derives from the Latin gerbe, “green stuff,” reflecting the nobility’s scorn for vegetables in centuries past. Another possibility is the French gerbe, “wheat, hay and other vegetative matter chopped up together for horse fodder.” Garbage may also derive from the Italian garbuglio, for “confused intrigue,” hence confusion, a mess—the intrigue part appropriate for our modern-day garbologists, people who ap- parently first appeared in the 1970s to make their living by poking through the garbage of celebrities and others at the top of the heap and learning their deep, dark, dirty secrets.
