英语词汇hubbub的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hubbub. An ancient Irish war cry may be responsible for this word, meaning an uproar of confused sound from a crowd of voices. The O.E.D. suggested as a source the cry of abu! abu! re- peated again and again by hordes of warriors running into bat- tle. The word has been spelled many ways. In its first recorded use (1555) it was an “yrishe (Irish) whobub.” In The Present State of Ireland (1596) Edmund Spenser wrote: “They come running with a terrible yell and hubbabowe, as if heaven and earth would have gone together, which is the very image of the Irish hubbabowe, which theyr kerne [soldiers] used at theyr first encounter.” Shakespeare called a hubbub a Whoo-bub in his The Winter’s Tale.
