英语词汇bob的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bob. It has been suggested that this British slang word for a shilling, familiar to all English-speaking peoples, may come from the name of Sir Robert (Bob) Walpole (1676–1745). The first Earl of Walpole was intimately connected with money in his posts as army paymaster, first commissioner of the treasury, chancellor of the Exchequer, and finally as England’s Prime Minister. But the word bob isn’t recorded until about 1810, some 65 years after Walpole’s death, so the derivation remains uncertain.
