skedaddle 溜走

美国内战时俚语,可能改写自英语方言 scaddle,溜走,逃走,词源同 scud,疾行,疾走,-le, 表反复。

skedaddle (v.)
"to run away," 1861, American Civil War military slang, of unknown origin, perhaps connected to earlier use in northern England dialect with a meaning "to spill." Liberman says it "has no connection with any word of Greek, Irish, or Swedish, and it is not a blend" [contra De Vere]. He calls it instead an "enlargement of dial. scaddle 'scare, frighten.'" Related: Skedaddled; skedaddling. As a noun from 1870.
1. " There'll be just one brief skirmish and the Yankees will skedaddle back into Tennessee.
" 只要打一次小小的遭遇战,北方佬就会逃回田纳西去的.
