accost 的詞源
accost(v.)
1570年代,“因任何原因並排或面對面地接近”,來自法語 accoster “靠近,並排移動”(古法語 acoster),源自拉丁語 accostare “靠近側面”,由拉丁語 ad “到”(見 ad-)和 costa “肋骨,側面”(見 coast(n.))的同化形式組成。現在通常指“接近並與之交談”(1610年代)。也被用作妓女招攬顧客的動詞(1812年)。相關: Accosted; accosting。
Infamous houses, he states, are in all parts of the metropolis, but most numerous in small streets, leading from public thoroughfares. "Some of them adjoin churches, chapels, and even the courts of law. There is one locality in which vicious women accost persons as they issue from the door of a chapel on the Sabbath. In another situation, the officiating clergyman while in the pulpit, is in a position to witness the proceedings in a contiguous brothel." [Michael Ryan, M.D., "Prostitution in London," 1839]
他說,臭名昭著的房屋遍佈整個大都市,但最多的是在從公共通道通向的小街道上。 “其中一些與教堂、禮拜堂甚至法院相鄰。有一個地方,邪惡的女人在安息日從教堂的門口攔住人們。在另一個地方,主持禮拜的牧師在講壇上,可以看到相鄰妓院的情況。” [邁克爾·瑞安(Michael Ryan),《倫敦的賣淫》(Prostitution in London),1839年]
