debonair 温文尔雅的

来自法语de bon aire, 即of good air. 用来指好的风度，好的举止。

英文词源

debonair (adj.): c. 1200, "mild, gentle, kind courteous," from Old French debonaire, from de bon' aire "of good race," originally used of hawks, hence, "thoroughbred" (opposite of French demalaire). Used in Middle English to mean "docile, courteous," it became obsolete and was revived with an altered sense of "pleasant, affable" (1680s).
