英语词汇hiccup的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	hiccup
词源	hiccup. No matter how it is spelled, the word is pronounced hiccup. Why is hard to say. Only in the 17th century did people begin to use hiccup, closely allied to the Danish hicke and the Dutch hikke. The hic in this echoic word is fine, but any con- noisseur of hiccups would agree that a cup is rarely if ever heard in a hiccough.
