midriff 腹部，肚子

来自古英语midhrif,来自mid,中间的，hrif,肚子，腹部，来自Proto-Germanic*hrefiz,来自PIE*kwrep,身体，词源同corpus,corporal.

midriff (n.): Old English midhrif, from mid "mid" (see mid) + hrif "belly," from Proto-Germanic *hrefiz- (cognates: Old High German href, Old Frisian hrif "belly"), from PIE *kwrep- "body, form, appearance" (see corporeal). More or less obsolete after 18c. except in phrase to tickle (one's) midriff "to cause laughter," the word revived 1941 in fashion usage for "portion of a woman's garment that covers the belly," as a euphemistic avoidance of belly; sense inverted and extended 1970 to a belly-baring style of women's top.
