詞源詞根法
改寫自古英語blindfellen。blind,瞎。fell,砍伐,擊倒。原指打瞎,后改成fold,折疊,指眼罩。blindfold和fold沒有絲毫關系,在中世紀英語中原作blindfellen/blindfelden,由blind(瞎的)加fellen‘to fell’(擊倒)構成,字面義為to strike someone blind(打瞎子)。那么它后來是如何演變?yōu)閎lindfold的呢?英國有一古老的捉迷藏游戲,叫blindman's buff/bluff。一人蒙住雙眼摸索著去捉在他周圍來回躲閃的人,捉住后辨認所捉的人是誰。這一游戲漢語有時譯作“摸瞎子”,蒙跟的布通常是一塊折疊起來的(folded)手帕。因此人們常將btindfellen的過去分詞形式blindfeld/blindfelled和fold(折疊)一詞相聯(lián)系,久而久之就漸漸演化為blindfold這一形式,既可用作形容詞,表示“被蒙住眼睛的”,也可用作動詞,表示“蒙住…的服睛”。
