humbugn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈhʌmbʌɡ/, U.S.

/ˈhəmˌbəɡ/

Etymology: A slang or cant word which came into vogue c1750.(An earlier date has been given in several Dictionaries, on the ground of the occurrence of the word in the title of F. Killigrew's Universal Jester, which the Slang Dictionary dates ‘about 1735–40’. But the earliest ed. of that work is dated by Lowndes 1754; see below.) Many guesses at the possible derivation of humbug have been made; but as with other and more recent words of similar introduction, the facts as to its origin appear to have been lost, even before the word became common enough to excite attention. Compare the following:1750 Student 2 No. 2. 42 There is a word very much in vogue with the people of taste and fashion, which, though it has not even the penumbra of a meaning, yet makes up the sum total of the wit, sense, and judgement of the aforesaid people of taste and fashion... I will venture to affirm that this Humbug is neither an English word, nor a derivative from any other language.—It is indeed a black-guard sound, made use of by most people of distinction!—It is a fine, make-weight in conversation, and some great men deceive themselves so egregiously as to think they mean something by it.

colloquial.

†1. A hoax; a jesting or befooling trick; an imposition. Obsolete.

单词	humbug
释义	humbugn.adj. Brit. /ˈhʌmbʌɡ/, U.S. /ˈhəmˌbəɡ/ Etymology: A slang or cant word which came into vogue c1750.(An earlier date has been given in several Dictionaries, on the ground of the occurrence of the word in the title of F. Killigrew's Universal Jester, which the Slang Dictionary dates ‘about 1735–40’. But the earliest ed. of that work is dated by Lowndes 1754; see below.) Many guesses at the possible derivation of humbug have been made; but as with other and more recent words of similar introduction, the facts as to its origin appear to have been lost, even before the word became common enough to excite attention. Compare the following:1750 Student 2 No. 2. 42 There is a word very much in vogue with the people of taste and fashion, which, though it has not even the penumbra of a meaning, yet makes up the sum total of the wit, sense, and judgement of the aforesaid people of taste and fashion... I will venture to affirm that this Humbug is neither an English word, nor a derivative from any other language.—It is indeed a black-guard sound, made use of by most people of distinction!—It is a fine, make-weight in conversation, and some great men deceive themselves so egregiously as to think they mean something by it. colloquial. †1. A hoax; a jesting or befooling trick; an imposition. Obsolete.
