中文词源

curt 唐突无礼的

来自PIE*sker, 剪，切，词源同shear, short. 后主要形容人的唐突。

英文词源

curt (adj.): mid-14c., from Latin curtus "(cut) short, shortened, incomplete," from PIE root *(s)ker- (1) "to cut" (see short (adj.)). Sense of "rude" is first recorded 1831. The Latin word was adopted early into most Germanic languages (compare Icelandic korta, German kurz, etc.) and drove out the native words based on Proto-Germanic *skurt-, but English retains short.
