| 词源 | hoyden. Most scholars think that this word for a boisterous, bold, carefree girl comes from Dutch heiden, meaning “hea- then” or “boor.” Another theory, however, has the word related to German Heide for “heath,” suggesting that someone from the wild heath would be a wild person with much vitality but little culture. |
