词源
- mess军队的食堂,餐厅,肮脏,杂乱来自古法语mes,一份食物,就餐,来自拉丁语mittere,放置,送出,词源同mission,emit.引申词义吃饭的地方,尤指部队餐厅。后用于指倒剩饭剩菜的地方,猪食等,并最终引申词义肮脏,杂乱等词义。
- mess杂乱,凌乱状态,伙食团该词是在13到14世纪时借自古法语mes,而mes又源于拉丁语missus,它们的原义分别为dish of food(一份食物)和course at a meal(一道菜)。圣经中有一句话:Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage(以扫为一碗红豆汤出卖长子继承权),其中mess就作“一份食物”一义解。15世纪时mess的词义逐渐引申为“集体用膳人员”、“伙食团”以及“食堂”等,这一用法在海陆军里一度十分普遍,到了L9世纪又进而引申为“大杂烩”、“杂乱”、“凌乱状态”、“乱七八糟(的东西)”,这大概是从部队在野地里用餐后出现的凌乱状态或酒席后杯盘狼藉和残羹剩饭混合一起的情景所引起的联想。食物词语的词义往往是这样演变的,如gallimaufry(残肴的杂烩,大杂烩),hodgepodge(蔬菜和肉的杂烩,大杂烩);baloney(肉的杂烩,大红肠).farrago(饲料的杂烩,大杂烩)等。
