hunky的词源

英文词源

chunky (adj.): "thickset," 1751, from chunk + -y (2). Originally U.S. colloquial. Related: Chunkiness.
hunky-dory (adj.): 1866, American English (popularized c. 1870 by a Christy Minstrel song), perhaps a reduplication of hunkey "all right, satisfactory" (1861), from hunk "in a safe position" (1847) New York City slang, from Dutch honk "goal, home," from Middle Dutch honc "place of refuge, hiding place." A theory from 1876, however, traces it to Honcho dori, said to be a street in Yokohama, Japan, where sailors went for persions of the sort sailors enjoy.

来自hunk,大块，魁梧的男子。参照电影《速度与激情》。
