词汇 | horsmandering |
词源 | horsmandering. This old word would serve well today in de- scribing the efforts of the many public officials, even corrupt ones, who write books about their experiences. Meaning just that, horsmandering comes from the name of an 18th-century American judge who was “one of the first public servants to use his records of a public experience as the basis of a full-length book.” |
