二、rookie的用法

1、rookie (n.)

2、"raw recruit,"1892 in that spelling, popularized by Kipling's"Barrack-Room Ballads,"of uncertain origin, perhaps from recruit, influenced by rook (n.1) in its secondary sense, suggesting"easy to cheat."Barrère ["A Dictionary of Slang, Jargon & Cant,"1890] has"Rookey (army), a recruit; from the black coat some of them wear,"so perhaps directly from rook (n.1). Came into general use in American English during the Spanish-American War. The rapid growth of a word from a single seed transplanted in a congenial soil is one of the curiosities of literature. Take a single instance. A few weeks ago there was not one American soldier in a thousand who knew there was such a word as"rookey."To-day there are few soldiers and ex-soldiers who have not substituted it for"raw recruit."["The Midland Monthly,"December 1898]
