英语词汇coquette的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	coquette
词源	coquette. This French word adopted into English signifies a flirt, a woman who makes teasing sexual or romantic overtures. In an etymological sense the word is oddly inappropriate, for it derives from the French coquet, a man who strutted about and was as promiscuous as a barnyard coq (cock) or rooster. Co- quette is just the diminutive of coquet and literally means a woman who is a “little cock.”
