One way to hold this word: picture the person sitting behind something that . Not the weapon, not the rank, but the pair of hands on it, aiming and letting go. Everything else follows from that seat. Change the thing that and you change the job: a rivet gun instead of a naval gun. Keep only the and you get the people who keep letting go at things: the player who always shoots, the student who always has a hand up.

可以想成坐在一個會發射的東西後面的那個人。重點不是武器本身,也不是軍階,而是那雙負責瞄準、然後放手的手。其他意思都從這個座位延伸出去。把發射的東西換掉,工作就換了:鉚釘槍不是艦砲。只留下「一直在發射」這個動作,就變成球場上一直出手的人,和教室裡手一直舉著的人。

From the word’s history

The source gives gun plus -er, from Middle English gonner: the person who works the gun.

來源把這個字拆成 gun 加上 -er,來自中古英語 gonner,字面上就是「弄槍砲的那個人」。
