| 词汇 | hanky-panky |
| 词源 | hanky-panky. A synonym for trickery, hanky-panky may have been coined, with the help of reduplication, from the ma- gician’s handkerchief, or hanky, under which so many things have mysteriously appeared and disappeared through clever sleight of hand. Probably related to hocus pocus, it is first re- corded in Punch (1841). |
