词汇 | hash |
词源 | hash. Horne Tooke’s Diversions of Purley (1786) derived hash from the Persian ash, or stew. An ingenious derivation, but completely wrong, as hash comes from the French hacher, “to cut up,” which also gives us the word hatchet. As a noun mean- ing the common meat dish, hash is first recorded in Samuel Pepys’s Diary (13 Jan. 1663): “I had . . . at first course a hash of rabbits, a lamb.” |
