中英词源
moxie 勇气，力量
来自Moxie,一种开创于1876 年的美国保健品饮料商标，其广告词为”build up your nerve”.该 词本身可能来自北美印第安某植物名。后来引申词义勇气，力量等。
- moxie (n.)
- "courage," 1930, from Moxie, brand name of a bitter, non-alcoholic drink, 1885, perhaps as far back as 1876 as the name of a patent medicine advertised to "build up your nerve;" despite legendary origin stories put out by the company that made it, it is perhaps ultimately from a New England Indian word (it figures in river and lake names in Maine, where it is apparently from Abenaki and means "dark water"). Much-imitated in its day; in 1917 the Moxie Company won an infringement suit against a competitor"s beverage marketed as "Proxie."
