expletive词源

expletive

expletive: [17] Originally, an expletive word was simply one used to ‘fill up’ a line of verse, to complete its metrical pattern (expletive comes from Latin explētus, the past participle of explēre ‘fill out’, a compound formed from the prefix ex- ‘out’ and plēre ‘fill’, source of English complete and related to English fill).Hence the term came to be used for a redundant word, not contributing anything to the meaning of the sentence: “The Key my loose, powerless fingers forsook”, a lame and expletive way of saying “I dropt the key”, Robert Southey 1804. The first recorded example of its euphemistic application as a noun to ‘profanities’ is by Sir Walter Scott in Guy Mannering 1815: ‘retaining only such of their expletives as are least offensive’.=> complete, full

expletive (n.)

1610s, \"a word or phrase serving to fill out a sentence or metrical line,\" from Middle French explétif (15c.) and directly from Late Latin expletivus \"serving to fill out,\" from explet-, past participle stem of Latin explere \"fill out, fill up, glut,\" from ex- \"out\" (see ex-) + plere \"to fill\" (see pleio-).Sense of \"an exclamation,\" especially \"a curse word, an oath,\" first recorded 1815 in Sir Walter Scott, popularized by edited transcripts of Watergate tapes (mid-1970s), in which expletive deleted replaced President Nixon\'s salty expressions. As an adjective, from 1660s.

expletive (adj.)

mid-15c., in grammar, \"correlative,\" from Latin expletivus \"serving to fill out\" (see expletive (n.)).
