trump的词源
英文词源
- trump
- trump: There are two distinct words trump in English. The now archaic term for a ‘trumpet’ [13] is of Germanic origin, although it and its derivatives reached English via the Romance languages. Its ultimate source was Old High German trumpa, which no doubt started life as an imitation of the sound made by the instrument it denoted. This passed into English via Old French trompe. Its diminutive trompette has given English trumpet [13], while its Italian relative trombone (literally ‘big trump’) is the source of English trombone. The cards term trump [16] is an alteration of triumph.
=> drum, trombone, trumpet; triumph - trump (v.1)
- "surpass, beat," 1580s, from trump (n.). Related: Trumped; trumping.

- "playing card of a suit ranking above others," 1520s, alteration of triumph (n.), which also was the name of a card game.
- trump (v.2)
- "fabricate, devise," 1690s, from trump "deceive, cheat" (1510s), from Middle English trumpen (late 14c.), from Old French tromper "to deceive," of uncertain origin. Apparently from se tromper de "to mock," from Old French tromper "to blow a trumpet." Brachet explains this as "to play the horn, alluding to quacks and mountebanks, who attracted the public by blowing a horn, and then cheated them into buying ...." The Hindley Old French dictionary has baillier la trompe "blow the trumpet" as "act the fool," and Donkin connects it rather to trombe "waterspout," on the notion of turning (someone) around. Connection with triumph also has been proposed. Related: Trumped; trumping. Trumped up "false, concocted" first recorded 1728.
- trump (n.2)
- "trumpet," c. 1300, from Old French trompe "long, tube-like musical wind instrument" (12c.), cognate with Provençal tromba, Italian tromba, all probably from a Germanic source (compare Old High German trumpa, Old Norse trumba "trumpet"), of imitative origin.
中文词源
古罗马时代,一个将军打了胜仗以后回到罗马城时,就要举行隆重的凯旋仪式,这种凯旋仪式拉丁叫 triumphus,法语作triomphe,英语的triumph(凯旋,胜利)一词即源于此,意指“王牌”的牌戏术语 trump也出自同源,它可以说是triumph之讹误或异体字。这两个词还可往前追溯到希腊语thriambos 'a hymn to Dionysus'(赞美酒神狄俄倪索斯的圣歌)。
