中英词源
peck 啄,轻吻
来自pick变体,词义同捡拾引申为啄,轻吻。
- peck (v.)
- c. 1300, possibly a variant of picken (see pick (v.)), or in part from Middle Low German pekken "to peck with the beak." Related: Pecked; pecking.
- peck (n.1)
- late 13c., "dry measure of one-quarter bushel," of unknown origin; perhaps connected with Old French pek, picot (13c.), also of unknown origin (Barnhart says these were borrowed from English). Chiefly of oats for horses; original sense may be "allowance" rather than a fixed measure, thus perhaps from peck (v.).
- peck (n.2)
- "act of pecking," 1610s, from peck (v.). It is attested earlier in thieves" slang (1560s) with a sense of "food, grub."
