英文詞源
- geezer
- geezer: [19] Originally, a geezer seems to have been ‘someone who went around in disguise’. The word probably represents a dialectal pronunciation of the now obsolete guiser ‘someone wearing a masquerade as part of a performance, mummer’. This was a derivative of guise [13], which, together with disguise [14], goes back ultimately to prehistoric Germanic *wīsōn, ancestor of archaic English wise ‘manner’.
=> disguise, guise, wise - geezer (n.)
- derisive word for an old man, 1885, according to OED a variant of obsolete Cockney guiser "mummer" (late 15c.; see guise).
