单词 smuggle
释义

smugglev.1

/ˈsmʌɡ(ə)l/
Forms: Also 1600s smuckle, 1700s smugle.
Etymology: Apparently of Low German or Dutch origin. The earlier form smuckle corresponds to Low German smukkeln (German dialect schmuckeln , schmucheln ) or Dutch smokkelen , while the slightly later smuggle agrees with Low German smuggeln (German schmuggeln , Danish smugle , Norwegian smugla , Swedish smuggla ). The origin of the term, and the precise relationship of the two types, is not clear. Compare smuggler n., which appears earlier.
