fandango的词源

英文词源

fandango (n.)

mid-18c., lively Spanish dance, the word of unknown etymology [OED says "alleged to be of negro origin"], of uncertain origin. Perhaps related to fado (Watkins traces both to Latin fari "to speak"); fado is lovely but not lively, so perhaps the link, if any, is thematic. By extension in American English, "any noisy entertainment."

中文词源

词源不详。可能来自fado, 一种葡萄牙民歌，词源同fate, 命运。
