中文詞源
funk 惡臭，恐慌，懦夫，放克音樂來自拉丁語fumigare, 煙熏，臭氣，難聞，詞源同fumigate. 該詞最初是白人用來指黑人身上的味道。後來黑人音樂家用該詞來形容他們的爵士風格，隨著爵士樂的流行，逐漸賦予該詞更多的褒義色彩。恐慌，懦夫義據說來自牛津大學俚語，來自難聞的煙臭味。
英文詞源
- funk (n.1)
- "depression, ill-humor," perhaps from earlier sense "cowering state of fear" (1743), identified in OED as originally Oxford slang, probably from Scottish and Northern English verb funk "become afraid, shrink through fear, fail through panic," (1737), of unknown origin. Perhaps from Flemish fonck "perturbation, agitation, distress," which is possibly related to Old French funicle "wild, mad."
- funk (n.2)
- "bad smell," 1620s, probably from the verb funk in the sense "blow smoke upon; stifle with offensive vapor" (though this is not recorded until later 17c.). It is from dialectal French funkière "to smoke," from Old French fungier "give off smoke; fill with smoke," from Latin fumigare "to smoke" (see fume (n.)).
Not considered to be related to obsolete funk (n.) "a spark," mid-14c., fonke, a general Germanic word (compare Dutch vonk, Old High German funcho, German Funke. The Middle English word is probably from Low German or from an unrecorded Old English form.
In reference to a style of music felt to have a strong, earthy quality, it is attested by 1959, a back-formation from funky (q.v.).
