Noun:
an evasion of the point of an argument by raising irrelevant distinctions or objections
Verb:
evade the truth of a point or question by raising irrelevant objectionsargue over petty things;Let's not quibble over pennies 源自拉丁语quibus‘whom，which’。旧时律师在翻阅拉丁文法律文件时，常在有疑点或含糊不清的地方的页边写上quibus 一词，表示质疑。16世纪从quibus产生了英语单词quib夸已废弃不用，它的意思是“模棱两可的话”或“双关语”。 17世纪时quib演变为quibble，它既可用作名词，表示“遁词”、“托词”，也可用作动词，表示“含糊其词回避问题实质”，有时也表示“为小事争吵”。quibble about争辩小分歧quibble over争辩小分歧
