英语词汇groovy的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

groovy; in the groove. In the groove has lasted longer than most slang expressions, possibly because of a popular song of the same name. The phrase, meaning “exciting, satisfying, or functioning smoothly,” isn’t heard much anymore, nor is its offspring, groovy. But from the ’30s to the ’50s it was all the rage, was even translated into Latin: in canaliculo. The allusion is to the quality of music reproduced when a good phonograph needle traverses the grooves of a record without jumping out. Oddly enough, an older English expression groovy, dating back to the late 19th century, means just about the opposite— to be in a rut, like a cart stuck in the grooves of a muddy road.
