來(lái)源：
Middle English fol
中古英語(yǔ) fol
from Old French
源自 古法語(yǔ)
from Late Latin follis [windbag, fool]
源自 后期拉丁語(yǔ) follis [空談家，愚人]
from Latin follis [bellows] * see bhel- 2
源自 拉丁語(yǔ) follis [風(fēng)箱] *參見(jiàn) bhel- 2

<注釋>The pejorative nature of the termfool is only strengthened by a knowledge of its etymology. Its source, the Latin wordfollis, meant .a bag or sack, a large inflated ball, a pair of bellows.. Users of the word in Late Latin, however, saw a resemblance between the bellows or the inflated ball and a person who was what we would call .a windbag. or .an airhead..The word, which passed into English by way of French,is first recorded in English in a work written around the beginning of the 3th centurywith the sense .a foolish, stupid, or ignorant person..
詞語(yǔ)fool 的輕蔑性質(zhì)只有用它的語(yǔ)源知識(shí)才能體會(huì)深刻。 它的詞源，拉丁詞fillis 意思是.一個(gè)袋子，一個(gè)大的充氣球，一對(duì)風(fēng)箱.。 然而在后期拉丁語(yǔ)中此詞使用者發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)風(fēng)箱或充氣球與一個(gè)我們稱(chēng)為.空談?wù)?或.自大者.之間有相似之處。這個(gè)詞通過(guò)法語(yǔ)傳入英語(yǔ)，在英語(yǔ)中最早記錄在一本寫(xiě)于大約為3世紀(jì)初的書(shū)中，意思是.笨的，傻的或愚昧的人.
