pansy 三色堇，娘娘腔

来自法语pensee,沉思，思念，来自拉丁语pendere,称量，思考，词源同pensive,ponder.-s,过去分词格。后引申词义三色堇，因这种花象征着思念与爱情而得名。用于俚语指娘娘腔，同性恋。

pansy: pansy: [15] French pensée means literally ‘thought’, and it was presumably the pensive look of these flowers of the viola family that earned them the name. English originally took it over as pensee, but later anglicized it to pansy. The use of the word for an effeminate male homosexual dates from the 1920s. French pensée itself is the feminine past participle of penser ‘think’ (source also of English pensive [14]). This was descended from Latin pēnsāre ‘weigh’, which in post-classical times was used for ‘think’.
=> pensive
pansy (n.): mid-15c., from Middle French pensée "a pansy," literally "thought, remembrance," from fem. past participle of penser "to think," from Latin pensare "consider," frequentative of pendere "to weigh" (see pendant). So called because it was regarded as a symbol of thought or remembrance. Meaning "effeminate homosexual man" is first recorded 1929.
