英文詞源
- farrago
- farrago: [17] The notion of a farrago being a ‘heterogeneous mixture’ comes originally from the mixture of various grains for animal feed. Latin farrāgo was a derivative of far ‘corn’ (source of English farinaceous [17] and related to barley and barn), and was extended metaphorically to ‘medley, hotch-potch’ in classical times.
=> barley, barn, farinaceous - farrago (n.)
- "hodgepodge, a confused mix," 1630s, from Latin farrago "medley, mixed fodder, mix of grains for animal feed," from far "grain" (see barley).
