单词 milonga
释义

milongan.

Brit. /mᵻˈlɒŋɡə/, U.S. /məˈlɑŋɡə/
Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish milonga.
Etymology: < South American Spanish milonga < Brazilian Portuguese milonga angry or repetitive words, chant, incantation, witchcraft, later applied to a doleful song sung to music in 2/4 time and to a lively dance, probably < a West Central African language; further etymology uncertain.The dance is thought to have been introduced to South America by slaves brought from West Central Africa in the 19th cent. There are two theories as to the source of the Brazilian Portuguese word, neither of which is altogether satisfactory. The first derives it < Kimbundu milonga incantation, palaver (plural of mulonga word), ultimately < Common Bantu root *-doŋg- to speak, teach. However, in this region nouns in the plural do not usually belong to the word class with plural prefix mi-, and usually have -i or -u rather than -a for their final vowel. The second theory derives the word < Kongo milonga (plural of nlonga) files, columns, rows, lines or Punu milongə (plural of mulonga) in same sense, perhaps with reference to long winding lines of dancers < verb stem -longa to arrange in a line, row, or column, ultimately < Common Bantu root *-doŋ- to arrange, heap up, *-doŋgo- line of objects. A similar formation is seen in Punu mabadi (plural of dibadi war, military column) a dance performed at night in a torchlit procession by members of a secret society (in some areas also applied to the society to which the dancers belong). Either derivation could therefore be linked semantically to Brazilian Portuguese milonga in the sense ‘witchcraft’.
