单词 mock-man
释义

mock-mann.

Brit. /ˈmɒkman/, /ˈmɒkmən/, U.S. /ˈmɑkˌmæn/, /ˈmɑkm(ə)n/
Inflections: Plural mock-men.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mock adj., man n.1
Etymology: < mock adj. + man n.1In quots. 1942 at sense 1, 1991 at sense 1 in sense 1 after Sanskrit kimpuruṣa , lit. ‘is it a man?’ < kim- interrogative particle + puruṣa man (see Purusha n.), probably referring in a Vedic text to a dummy (in later use also in senses ‘humanoid’ and ‘centaur’). Quots. 1738 at sense 2, 1990 at sense 2 refer to a (perhaps misunderstood) semantic, rather than an etymological, parallel with Kongo languages cimpenzi , kimpenzi , impenzi chimpanzee n.; these words cannot be analysed morphologically as compounds with the meaning ‘mock-man’.
Now rare.
1. A person or thing resembling a man but without the qualities of a man; (contemptuous) a man considered unworthy of being called a man.In quot. a1640 the reference is perhaps to a stage dummy (see also etymological note).
