A nose pushed over the fence, at something that belongs to someone else. The nose does not take anything. It just gets far too close.
可以想成一個鼻子從籬笆上探過來,湊到不屬於他的東西前面聞。鼻子沒有拿走任何東西,只是靠得太近了。nosy 的每個用法都在這個畫面裡:有時候說的是那個人,有時候說的是那一次探過去的動作。
From the word’s history
From nose plus the ending -y. The word is built straight out of the body part, which is why every use still has a nose in it.
來源資料把 nosy 拆成 nose(鼻子)加上 -y。這個字是直接從身體部位長出來的,所以它每一種用法裡都還看得到那個鼻子。
