英语词汇broad的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	broad
词源	broad. Broad has meant both a promiscuous woman and any young woman since the 1920s, though it is generally used to- day, when it is used, to mean a young woman—not necessarily a promiscuous one, but not someone toward whom much re- spect is shown. The Americanism may derive from bawd, but was more likely suggested by broad breasts and buttocks.
