英语词汇beat it的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	beat it
词源	beat it! Although most authorities say beat it! is American slang first recorded in 1905 for “get out of here, go away!”, the expression is much older. The term was used by both Ben Jon- son and Shakespeare for “go” and is said to have been coined by Shakespeare. It may be a shortening of “beat the trail” or some similar expression, but no one is sure. See scram.
