单词 segotia
释义

segotian.

Brit. /səˈɡɔːʃə/, U.S. /səˈɡɔʃə/, /səˈɡɑʃə/, Irish English /səˈɡɒːʃə/
Forms: 1900s– sagosha, 1900s– secocia, 1900s– segocia, 1900s– segosha, 1900s– segotcha, 1900s– segotia, 1900s– shegoshia.
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown.It has sometimes been suggested that this is an arbitrary alteration, either of associate n. (perhaps in mocking imitation of an early 20th-cent. Irish speaker with an imperfect command of English) or of French mon cher gosse (lit. ‘my dear child’, although this appears to be rare itself), but no direct evidence has been traced that would connect either of these to the Irish English word, and the alteration would be substantial in each case. A suggested borrowing < Irish seo dhuit-se, literally ‘here (it is) to you’, is unlikely on semantic grounds, and no evidence has been traced for a reported use of the phrase as a greeting. Literary alteration. Compare also the following, which appears to show a conscious alteration of the Irish English word:1939 J. Joyce Finnegans Wake 215 Ah, but she was the queer old skeowsha anyhow, Anna Livia, trinkettoes!
Irish English.
A friend; often in old segotia. Chiefly as a term of endearment or affectionate form of address, esp. between men.
