<注釋>Kidnapper seems to have originated appropriately enough among those who perpetrate this crime. We know this becausekid and napper, the two parts of the compound, were slang of the sort that criminals might use. Kid, which some still find slangy, was considered low slang when kidnapper was formed, and napper is obsolete slang for a thief, coming from the verbnap, .to seize a person or thing, steal.. Nap is possibly a variant ofnab, which still has a slangy ring to it.In '78, the year in which the word is first recorded,kidnappers plied their trade on behalf of plantations in colonies such as the ones in North America.The term later took on the broader sense that it has today.The verbkidnap is recorded later ('82) than the noun and so is possibly a back-formation,that is, people have assumed that a kidnapper kidnaps.
Kidnapper 似乎恰好源于犯這種罪的人。 我們知道這個(gè)復(fù)合詞的兩個(gè)部分kid 和 napper 是這種罪犯?jìng)兛赡苡玫馁嫡Z(yǔ)。 Kidnapper 形成時(shí) kid 被認(rèn)為是低等的俚語(yǔ)，現(xiàn)在kid仍有俚語(yǔ)性質(zhì)， napper 是指小偷的廢棄的俚語(yǔ)， 從動(dòng)詞nap 而來(lái)， 指.抓住人或東西，偷。. Nap 可能是nab 的變體， 它也仍有俚語(yǔ)的性質(zhì)。'78年這個(gè)詞在英語(yǔ)中第一次記錄時(shí)，綁架者為了如北美的殖民地種植園的利益進(jìn)行了大量綁架。這個(gè)詞后來(lái)又有象今天這么廣的含義，動(dòng)詞kidnap 比名詞記錄要晚（'82年）， 所以可能是逆構(gòu)詞，也就是人們認(rèn)為.綁架者.會(huì)綁架
