fleece[fleece 词源字典]

fleece: [OE] Fleece comes from a prehistoric Germanic *flūsaz. This probably goes back to an Indo-European *plus-, which also produced Latin plūma ‘down’, later ‘feathers’, and Lithuanian plunksna ‘feather’. The metaphorical sense of the verb, ‘swindle’, developed in the 16th century from the literal ‘remove the fleece from’.
