debauch 堕落
来自古法语debaucher, 偏离，逃离工作职责。词源不详，可能来自de-, 向下，-bauch, 杆，栏杆，词源同balk, balcony, 即掉落栏杆的，词义由掉落引申为堕落。
英语词源
- debauch (v.)
- 1590s, from Middle French débaucher "entice from work or duty," from Old French desbaucher "to lead astray," supposedly literally "to trim (wood) to make a beam" (from bauch "beam," from Frankish balk or some other Germanic source akin to English balk (n.)). A sense of "shaving" something away, perhaps, but the root is also said to be a word meaning "workshop," which gets toward the notion of "to lure someone off the job;" either way the sense evolution is unclear.
