roue的词源

英文词源

roue (n.)

"debauchee," 1800, from French roué "dissipated man, rake," originally past participle of Old French rouer "to break on the wheel" (15c.), from Latin rotare "roll" (see rotary). Said to have been first applied in French c. 1720 to dissolute friends of the Duke of Orleans (regent of France 1715-23), to suggest the punishment they deserved; but probably rather from a secondary, figurative sense in French of "jaded, worn out," from the notion of "broken, run-over, beat down."

roue：放荡者；享乐者

拉丁词根rot-表旋转（车轮），不定式rotare=to rotate进入法语后变为rouer（元音间的t脱落），其过去分词是roue。1720年，法国的奥尔良公爵形容身边同样是浪荡公子的纨绔子弟们roues，意思是他们道德败坏到应该被用当时处理重犯的“broken on the wheel”的方法处死。
