gunzel
語源
Origin uncertain; possibly from gunsel (“stupid または contemptible fellow, creep; young man kept for homosexual purposes, catamite”),[1] from Yiddish גענדזל (gendzl, “gosling”), from Middle High German gensel, diminutive of gans (“goose”) (compare German Gänslein (“gosling”),[2] from Gans (“goose”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns (“goose”)).
There is an unverified suggestion that the word was first used in the 1960s by staff of the Sydney Tramway Museum in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, to describe shabbily dressed trainspotters. They were apparently influenced by the word gunsel (“a gun-carrying hoodlum”), which had been popularized in the film The Maltese Falcon (1941) based on the 1929 novel of the same name by American author Dashiell Hammet (1894–1961).[2][3]
