中文词源

gaunt 瘦削憔悴的

词源不详。可能来自gander, 公鹅，用来形容瘦高个的人。

英文词源

gaunt (adj.): "lean and haggard," from or as if from hunger, mid-15c. (as a surname from mid-13c.), from Middle French gant, of uncertain origin; perhaps from a Scandinavian source (compare Old Norse gand "a thin stick," also "a tall thin man") and somehow connected with the root of gander. Connection also has been suggested to Old French jaunet "yellowish" [Middle English Dictionary].
