bandy的词源
英文词源
- bandy
- bandy: [16] To ‘bandy words with someone’ may go back to an original idea of ‘banding together to oppose others’. The word comes from French bander ‘oppose’, which is possibly a derivative of bande ‘group, company’ (source of English band). The rather complex semantic development goes from ‘taking sides’, through ‘opposing a third party’, ‘exchanging blows’, ‘exchanging hits’ (in the 16th and 17th centuries it was a term in tennis), to ‘exchanging hostile words’.
The adjective bandy [17], as in ‘bandy legs’, probably comes from the noun bandy ‘curved stick used in an early form of hockey’ (the game was also known as bandy). It may ultimately be related to the verb bandy, the connection being the notion of knocking a ball to and fro.
=> band - bandy (v.)
- 1570s, "to strike back and forth," from Middle French bander, from root of band (n.2). The sense apparently evolved from "join together to oppose," to opposition itself, to "exchanging blows," then metaphorically, to volleying in tennis. Bandy (n.) was a 17c. Irish game, precursor of field hockey, played with a curved stick (also called a bandy), hence bandy-legged (1680s).
中文词源
bandy（来回投掷）：11人制冰上曲棍球比赛
英语单词bandy的本意是一种早期的冰上曲棍球比赛，中文中一般译为“班迪球”。班迪球最早流行于荷兰。19世纪中叶在英国和挪威、瑞典、俄罗斯等国迅速兴起。1955年在瑞典、芬兰、挪威和苏联等国家的倡议下召开代表大会，成立了国际班迪球联合会成立，并制订统一的比赛规则。班迪球与冰球（hockey）类似，最大的不同是班迪球的每队人数为11人，而冰球为5人。
班迪球使用的球棍和曲棍球球棍类似，所以单词bandy一词含有“向外弯曲的”之意，如bandy-legged意思就是“罗圈腿的”。又由于在班迪球比赛中，球被选手打来打去，所以bandy又逐渐衍生出“来回投掷、打来打去、传递、散播”等多种含义。

bandy：来回投掷，来回互致，罗圈腿的
公元17世纪时爱尔兰曲棍球叫bandy，其实这是名为hockey的现代曲棍球之原型。这种早期曲棍球的球棍也称bandy。由于罗圈腿形似曲棍球球棍，故有bandy-legged 一词，作bowlegged（罗圈腿的）的同义语用，但现常缩略为bandy。在早期曲棍球运动，球是从一边传到另一边来回争夺的，据此bandy也常用于喻义，表示“来回互致”（尤指争吵或殴斗），如to bandy words with（与…口角），最后bandy的原始词义反倒被弃而不用了。bandy可能源自古法语bander ‘to hit the ball back and forth at tennis’。例如：I do not want to bandy words with you.（我不想跟你斗嘴）。
