中文詞源
singe 微烤，微燙，烤焦，燙糊
來自古英語 sengan,輕微的烤，輕微的燒，來自 Proto-Germanic*sangijana,燃燒，來自 PIE*senk, 燃燒，可能來自擬聲詞，模仿物體在火燒時發(fā)出的輕微的噼啪聲。
英文詞源
- singe (v.)
- Old English sengan "to burn lightly, burn the edges" (of hair, wings, etc.), from Proto-Germanic *sangjanan (cognates: Old Frisian of-sendza, Middle Dutch singhen, Dutch zengen, Old High German sengan, German sengen "to singe"). The root is said to be related to that of sing (v.), on the idea of some sort of sound produced by singeing (Century Dictionary), but Klein's sources reject this. Related: Singed; singeing. Singed cat "person whose appearance does not do him justice, person who is better than he looks" is from 1827.
