vamp 的詞源
vamp(v.)
“extemporize on a piano,” 1789,源自 vamp(n.1)“鞋或靴子的上部”,經過“給長筒襪(後來是鞋)提供新的鞋面”(1590年代)的動詞意義,然後是“修補,修復”(類似於 revamp)。 相關: Vamped; vamping。
vamp(n.1)
在1650年代,「鞋子或靴子的上部」,早期指「覆蓋腳和腳踝的長襪部分」(約公元1200年,vaumpe)。這個詞源自盎格魯法語的vaum-pei、vampe,是古法語avantpié「鞋子的前面部分」的縮寫。它由avant「在前」(參見avant)和pié「腳」組成,後者來自拉丁語pes「腳」(源自原始印歐語根*ped-「腳」)。
有時也拼作vampey、wampy。作為動詞時,指「通過更換新的前面部分來修理鞋子或靴子」(15世紀中期,vaum-peien),這是從名詞轉化而來(參見vamp (v.2))。
vamp(n.2)
“诱惑男人的女人,”1915年,vampire的流行缩写,1909年在Porter Emerson Browne的小说A Fool There Was中以此意义被证实,基于Kipling的一首诗,与Kipling的表弟Philip Burne-Jones创作的名为“The Vampire”的画作一起创作。这首诗和画作首次于1897年一起展出。
A fool there was and he made his prayer
(Even as you and I!)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair
(We called her the woman who did not care)
But the fool, he called her his lady fair
(Even as you and I.)
[Kipling, from "The Vampire"]
"So you're going to turn vampire for revenge?" I inquired.
"Me for the vamp stuff," she assured me earnestly.
[William Slavens McNutt, "The Rocky Road of Rectitude," in Munsey's, February 1915]

[Kipling, from "The Vampire"]
1915年的电影A Fool There Was,基于该小说,被认为是将vamp一词带入主流的。Theda Bara在其中饰演The Vampire使她成名,该词在电影首映一个月内就以危险女性的指称出现在印刷品中。
“所以你打算为了报复变成吸血鬼?”我问道。
“我为了吸血鬼的东西,”她认真地向我保证。
[William Slavens McNutt, "The Rocky Road of Rectitude," in Munsey's, February 1915]
到1918年成为动词。之前该词被用作对男性的贬义,可能是从vamper缩写而来,最初指通过欺骗手段偷窃或欺骗的不诚实男性(在此意义上,1864年)。男性词可能影响了女性vampire的缩写。相关词:Vamping。
注意:The print OED citation of Chesterton using the word vamp in this sense in 1911 cannot be confirmed; the sentence quoted might be from 1926.
