Adjective:
marked by or showing hopelessness;the last forlorn attempt a forlorn cause for-，完全的，lorn，失去，词源同lose。原义为毁坏的，完全丧失的。绝望义来自英语短语forlornhope1570s，完全失去希望的，而hope实则为荷兰语hoop的讹误，军队，部队，词源同英语词heap。类似于日本的敢死队，通常带有自杀式使命。类似演变参照humble pie。 for来自原始印欧语per，向前，穿过，词源同far, ford。后主要用做介词或副词使用，与fore在中古英语时期才开始产生词义上的差别。 lorn来自lose的古体过去分词形式，见forlorn, lovelorn。 lose来自古英语los，失去，毁灭。来自原始印欧语*leu，砍，切开，分开，解开，松开，词源同analyse, loose, -less。可能进一步来自原始印欧语*skel，砍，切，词源同scale, scalper。拼写演变比较locus, ring。 hope来自古英语hopa，希望，期望。来自原始日耳曼语*hupo，希望。来自原始印欧语*kwep，蒸发，蒸腾，沸腾，词源同vapor, Cupid, cupidity。由沸腾引申词义希冀，渴求，希望。 hoop来自古英语hop，环形物体。来自原始日耳曼语*hopa，弯，转，弧。来自原始印欧语*kab，弯，转，词源同cubit, cup, cooper。引申词义箍，环。 heap可能来自古英语heah，高的，词源同high。由高引申词义堆积，大块。 humble来自古法语humble，卑微的。来自拉丁语humilis，尘土一样的。来自humus，土，尘土，词源同humus。引申词义卑微的，谦逊的。习语to eat humble pie，赔礼，道歉。来自umbles，动物内脏，词源同loin, lumbar。动物内脏在过去属于下等食品，是给仆人或奴仆等下等人吃的，因而引申该词义，同时，由于umbles对大多数人来说都属于陌生词，词义又恰好与humble吻合，因此，拼写最终被humble所代替。插入字母b，比较number, numerate。 pie来自古法语pie。来自拉丁语pica。来自picus，喜鹊，啄木鸟，-a，表阴性。来自原始印欧语*speik，啄，词源同spike。来自拉丁语pie，馅饼，面饼，可能来自pica，喜鹊，因为喜鹊是杂食动物，什么都吃，用以指馅饼里面剁在一起的各种肉馅。forlorn hope敢死队孤注一掷的举…Dutch荷兰的
