注釋

To the casual eye testy and heady seem to have no connection until one becomes less casual and notes that both words refer to the head. The head in heady is easy to see both in the form of the word and in the meanings of the word. The earliest sense, first recorded in a work composed before 1382, is “headlong, headstrong,” which is clearly a “head” sense but so is the better known current sense “apt to go to the head, intoxicating.” To see the head in testy, we must look back to the Old French word testu, the source of our word. Testu is derived from the Old French word teste, “head” (Modern French tête ). In English testy developed another sense, “aggressive, contentious,” which passed into the sense we are familiar with, “irritable.”

粗看testy 和 heady 似乎沒(méi)有聯(lián)系， 直到一個(gè)人較為仔細(xì)才注意到兩個(gè)詞都指頭部。heady 中的 head 很容易看出在形式與意義上均相似。 其最早的意義，首次記錄于1382年以前的一部著作中，指“輕率的，頑固的”，顯然是“頭部”的意思，但現(xiàn)在更為人知的意思是“能入腦的；陶醉的”。而要看head 在 testy 中， 我們必須追溯到古法語(yǔ)testu ，我們這個(gè)詞的詞源。 Testu 源于古法語(yǔ)詞 teste ，“頭部”（現(xiàn)代法語(yǔ) tete )。 在英語(yǔ)中，testy 所發(fā)展的另一層意思（“好戰(zhàn)的，爭(zhēng)論的”）轉(zhuǎn)化成了我們熟悉的意思（“暴躁的”）
