英语词汇have one-s innings的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

have one’s innings. Inning has its roots in British cricket where innings (always spelled with an s but considered singu- lar) means a time at bat for a batsman, because that player is “in” at bat while the opposition team is “out” on the field. It is from the cricket innings, not baseball’s borrowing of it, that we get the expression to have one’s innings, one’s opportunity or chance or one’s time at bat, as it were.
