put-on
英 美['p?t?n]
- n. 做作的；假裝的；騙局
英文詞源
- put-on (n.)
- "ruse, deception," 1937, from earlier adjectival meaning "assumed, feigned" (1620s), a figurative extension of the notion of putting on costumes or disguises; from put (v.) + on (adv.). The expression put (someone) on "play a trick on" seems to be a back-formation from the noun.
