英语词汇bobbin的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	bobbin
词源	bobbin n. "pin or spool around which thread or yarn is wound," 1520s, from French bobine, small instrument used in sewing or tapestry-making, a word of uncertain origin, perhaps from Latin balbus (see babble (v.)) for the stuttering, stammering noise it made. Entries linking to bobbin babble v. mid-13c., babeln "to prattle, utter words indistinctly, talk like a baby," akin to other Western European words for stammering and prattling (Swedish babbla, Old French babillier, etc.) attested from the same era (some of which probably were borrowed from others), all probably ultimately imitative of baby-talk (compare Latin babulus "babbler," Greek barbaros "non-Greek-speaking"). "No direct connexion with Babel can be traced; though association with that may have affected the senses" [OED]. The meaning "to talk excessively" is attested from c. 1500. Related: Babbled; babbler; babbling. bobbinet n. "machine-made cotton netting," 1819, earlier bobbin-net (1814), from bobbin + net (n.). updated on October 19, 2022
