hotchpotch的词源

英文词源

hotchpotch: hotchpotch: [15] Hotchpotch is an alteration (for the sake of the rhyme) of an earlier hotchpot. This was borrowed from an Old French compound made up of hocher ‘shake’ (perhaps from Frankish hottisōn) and pot ‘pot’. So originally the word meant literally ‘shake the pot’ – presumably to blend an assortment of ingredients, although it is not certain that the allusion was in the first instance culinary. (Old French hocher, incidentally, may well have been the source of the Scottish verb hotch ‘shake, fidget’ [14].)

来自古法语hochepot,热罐，来自hocher,摇，pot,罐子。原指把肉，草药，香料，酒和其它调料加在一起炖的炖锅菜，引申词义大杂烩，杂乱无章。
