词源

词源 1
From Italian maccaroni (plural of maccarone (archaic variant of maccheroni (“fool”))), of uncertain origin. Variously derived from late Byzantine Greek μακαρία (makaría, “food made from barley”), from Ancient Greek μάκαρ (mákar, “blessed; favored by the gods”), or from maccare (archaic variant of ammaccare (“to bruise; to crush”)), from Latin maccāre of the same meaning. Compare Sicilian maccarruni (“a single piece of macaroni”).
* As a fop, apparently from the British Macaroni Club rather than from Italian use of maccarone for fools and bumpkins.
* As a former form of currency, used to calque Spanish macuquino (18th-century colonial slang for a similarly clipped coin).
词源 2
From French macaron. Doublet of macaron.
