单词 gooseberry fool
释义

gooseberry fooln.

Brit. /ˌɡʊzb(ə)rɪ ˈfuːl/, U.S. /ˌɡusˌbɛri ˈful/, /ˌɡuzb(ə)ri ˈful/
Forms: see gooseberry n. and fool n.2
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: gooseberry n., fool n.2
Etymology: < gooseberry n. + fool n.2In sense 2a probably so called on account of the fact that the plant's leaves smell fruity when bruised. The semantic motivation of sense 2b is unclear; it has sometimes been suggested that the plant is so called because its spotted leaves resemble the dessert. It is unlikely that the plant is so called on account of a noticeable scent.
1. A dessert made of cooked gooseberries, mashed or pureed, mixed with custard or (now usually) cream, and served cold. See fool n.2
