单词 fangle
释义

fanglen.1

/ˈfæŋɡ(ə)l/
Forms: Also 1500s fangel, 1600s phangle, (south. dial.) vangle.
Etymology: This and fangle v.2 apparently arose from a mistaken analysis of newfangled adj., later form of newfangle ‘eager for novelty’. As newfangled was said both of persons and of their actions or productions, it came to be diversely interpreted to mean either ‘characterized by new fashions or crotchets’ or ‘newly fashioned or fabricated’.
1. new fangle: a new fashion or crotchet; a novelty, new invention. (Always in contemptuous sense.) Now rare.
