词汇 | bludgeon |
词源 | bludgeon. One guess is that bludgeon for a heavy club or to hit with a heavy club, may be related to the word blood, which certainly sounds like the first part of the word and certainly de- scribes a possible result of being hit with such a club. But this is only a theory, there’s no proof to back it up. We only know for sure that bludgeon is first recorded in 1730. |
