gaudy (adj.)"showy, tastelessly rich," 1580s, probably ultimately from Middle English gaudi "large, ornamental bead in a rosary" (early 14c.); but there is a parallel sense of gaudy as "full of trickery" (1520s), from Middle English gaud "deception, trick," from gaudi "a jest, trick," possibly from Anglo-French gaudir "be merry, scoff," from Latin gaudere "rejoice" (see joy).Alternative etymology of the adjective is from Middle English gaudegrene "yellowish-green" (early 14c.), originally "green dye" obtained from a plant formerly known as weld, from a Germanic source (see weld (n.)), which became gaude in Old French. The English term supposedly shifted sense from "weld-dye" to "bright." As a noun, "feast, festival" 1650s, from gaudy day "day of rejoicing" (1560s).华而不实的(形容词)“艳丽,tastelessly丰富”,1580年代,可能最终从中古英语高迪“一串念珠大型装饰珠”(早期的14 c。);但有一个平行的堪比“欺骗”(1520年代),中古英语的俗气东西“欺骗,欺骗,”高迪”开玩笑,技巧,“可能来自英法gaudir”快乐,嘲笑,“从拉丁语gaudere“喜乐”(见快乐)。替代词源的形容词是中古英语gaudegrene“微黄发绿”(14 c。早期),最初从植物获得“绿色染料”原名为焊接,从日耳曼语的来源(见焊接(n)),这在古法语成为gaude。英语术语应该从“weld-dye”转向“明亮。“作为一个名词,“宴会、节日“1650年代,从华丽的一天”欣喜的一天”(1560年代)。【中文部分你先凑合看下回头有空我再改。。】
