单词 judy
释义

Judyn.

Brit. /ˈdʒuːdi/, U.S. /ˈdʒudi/
Forms: also (in sense 3) with lower-case initial.
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Judy.
Etymology: < Judy, pet form (compare -y suffix6) of the female forename Judith (post-classical Latin Iudith (Vulgate), Hellenistic Greek Ἰουδίθ (Septuagint: Judith 8:1)), the name of the heroine of the deuterocanonical book of Judith (which was translated into Greek from a now lost Hebrew original) < post-biblical Hebrew Yĕhūḏīṯ , apparently ultimately related to biblical Hebrew yĕhūḏī person from Judaea, Jew (see Jew n.), and perhaps reinforced by biblical Hebrew Yĕhūḏīṯ, the name of one of the two wives of Esau (Genesis 26:34), even if that name is etymologically unrelated.The female forename Judith is attested in English contexts from the Old English period (where it occurs in the epic poem Judith as the name of the biblical figure) onwards, and has been used as a given name frequently from the 16th cent. onwards, and occasionally earlier. It was fairly popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, but relatively little used in the 19th cent. It became popular again from the 1950s in both Britain and the United States. The pet form Judy is attested in English contexts from at least the 17th cent. Senses 1 and 2 may have arisen from an association of the forename with women of low social status or questionable morals; compare sense 3 and earlier Joan n. The origin of the fuller form Judy Fitzsimmons in sense 1 is unclear.
1. colloquial (originally Irish English). A fool, a simpleton. Also Judy Fitzsimmons. Frequently in to make a Judy (Fitzsimmons) of oneself and variants. Now somewhat dated.
