It is hard to imagine the English language without the word joke , but joke is only first recorded in 1670. Since joke was originally considered a slang or informal usage, it was not suitable to all contexts. The change in status of joke from then to now provides us with an excellent example of how usage changes. [x]Joke has a decent enough heritage at any rate, coming from Latin iocus, “jest, sport, laughingstock, trifle.” Iocus in turn can be traced back to the Indo-European root yek-, meaning “to speak,” from which also comes the Umbrian word iuka, “prayers,” and the Welsh word iaith, “speech.”
我們很難想象英語中如果沒有joke 這個詞會怎樣, 但是joke 在1670年才首次有文字記載。 因為joke 起初被認為是俚語或非正式用語, 以前它並不是在所有的文章中都適用的。從那時到現在joke 地位上的變化給我們提供了壹個關於語言用法如何變化的極好的例子。 不管怎樣joke 的詞源算得上很體面, 它來自於拉丁語中iocus 壹詞, 表示“玩笑,遊戲,笑柄,瑣事”。Iocus 反過來又可追溯到印歐語系中的詞根 yek- 表示“說話”, 從這個詞根還派生出翁布裏亞語中iuka 壹詞,即“祈禱”, 以及威爾士語中iaith 壹詞,即“講話,演說”
