英文詞源
- vanguard
- vanguard: [15] Vanguards have nothing to do with guarding vans. The word denotes etymologically an ‘a(chǎn)dvance guard’. It is short for the long defunct avantgard, which was borrowed from Old French avant-garde, a compound formed from avant ‘in front’ and garde ‘guard’. (Its modern French descendant was reborrowed into English as avant-garde [20].)
=> avant-garde, guard - vanguard (n.)
- mid-15c., vaunt garde, from Middle French avant-garde, from avant "in front" (see avant) + garde "guard" (see guard (n.)). Communist revolutionary sense is recorded from 1928.
