英文词源


chopstick
chopstick: [17] A chopstick is literally a ‘quick stick’. The element chop occurs more recognizably in chop-chop ‘quickly’; it is a Pidgin English modification of Cantonese Chinese gap ‘urgent’. ‘Quick stick’ is a rather free translation of the Chinese term for ‘chopsticks’, Cantonese kuàizi, literally ‘fast ones, nimble ones’.

chopstick (n.)
also chop-stick, 1690s, sailors' partial translation of Chinese k'wai tse, variously given as "fast ones" or "nimble boys," first element from pidgin English chop, from Cantonese kap "urgent." Chopsticks, the two-fingered piano exercise, is first attested 1893, probably from the resemblance of the fingers to chopsticks.
