词汇 | good scout |
词源 | good scout. A good scout, “a regular person, a good fellow,” is probably much older than its first recorded date of 1912. The scout here most likely comes from the Dutch schout, “a sort of combination town mayor-sheriff ”—not the English word scout, which derives ultimately from a Latin word for “to listen,” ascultare. |
