| 词源 | spondulix. Where this old American word for money came from is anybody’s guess, but spondulix is recorded as early as 1856. It’s another word that can only be guessed to be of fanci- ful origin, a funny word that caught on because people liked its sound. Mark Twain used it in Huckleberry Finn. |
