语源
(1)Middle English fol
中古英语 fol
(2)from Old French
源自 古法语
(3)from Late Latin follis [windbag, fool]
源自 后期拉丁语 follis [空谈家，愚人]
(4)from Latin follis [bellows] * see bhel- 2
源自 拉丁语 follis [风箱] *参见 bhel- 2
注释
The pejorative nature of the term fool is only strengthened by a knowledge of its etymology. Its source, the Latin word follis, meant “a bag or sack, a large inflated ball, a pair of bellows.” Users of the word in Late Latin, however, saw a resemblance between the bellows or the inflated ball and a person who was what we would call “a windbag” or “an airhead.” The word, which passed into English by way of French, is first recorded in English in a work written around the beginning of the 13th centurywith the sense “a foolish, stupid, or ignorant person.”
词语fool 的轻蔑性质只有用它的语源知识才能体会深刻。 它的词源，拉丁词fillis 意思是“一个袋子，一个大的充气球，一对风箱”。 然而在后期拉丁语中此词使用者发现一个风箱或充气球与一个我们称为“空谈者”或“自大者”之间有相似之处。这个词通过法语传入英语，在英语中最早记录在一本写于大约为13世纪初的书中，意思是“笨的，傻的或愚昧的人”
