单词 bumpkin
释义

bumpkinn.1

Brit. /ˈbʌm(p)kɪn/, U.S. /ˈbəm(p)kən/
Forms: 1500s bunkin, 1600s bompkin, 1600s bumking, 1600s bumpking, 1600s bunken, 1600s–1700s bumkin, 1600s– bumpkin.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from Dutch. Or perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Dutch bommekijn ; Dutch boomkijn ; bum n.1, -kin suffix.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps (i) < Middle Dutch bommekijn small barrel (see bumpkin n.2), perhaps (ii) < Middle Dutch boomkijn, lit. ‘small tree’ (see bumkin n.1), or perhaps (iii) < bum n.1 + -kin suffix.The Latin glosses to quot. 1570 at sense 1 have been taken to suggest that this word was applied humorously to a man from the Low Countries (with batavus compare Batavia the Netherlands: see Batavian adj.) of short, stocky stature, although for neither word is this application to people recorded in dictionaries of Dutch. Formation within English as a diminutive of bum n.1 is formally possible but not semantically straightforward.
1. An unsophisticated or socially awkward person from the country. Cf. country bumpkin n. at country n. and adj. Compounds 4.
