英语词汇gelt的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

gelt; mazuma; shekels. The first slang term for money given here owes its currency to Yiddish. Gelt derives from the Ger- man Geld, “money,” and has been common here since the mid 19th century, in England since 1698. Mazuma, usually a more humorous term, possibly derives from the Hebrew mezumman “the ready necessary,” or money. For some strange reason maz- uma was first recorded (1907) in a book about Kansas, of all places. The shekel, the first money mentioned in the Bible (Gen. 33:12–16), was a silver coin weighing about two-thirds of an ounce, common in ancient times. In the plural it has come to mean money in general, since at least the mid-19th century.
