<注释>The origin offlimsy, although uncertain, is not completely obscure.The word is first recorded in English in the 7th century in a dictionary of cant, the jargon of people such as thieves and beggars.Its early senses .frail. and .trivial.as well as its form may link it withflim-flam, recorded first around 538.The nounflim-flam could mean .a piece of nonsense or idle talk,. and the adjective could mean .frivolous.. Flim-flam itself is a reduplication in which the patternfl—m occurs twice, the first time with the sound ();the second, with the sound (2). Flim may be related to the Old Norse wordflim, meaning .a lampoon, libel..
Flimsy 的词源虽然不确定， 但并不是完全不清楚。这个单词在7世纪首次用英语记载于一本行话字典里，即记载如小偷和乞丐等人所使用的隐语的字典。它最初的意思是.脆弱的.和.轻微的.，其形式可能与flim-flam 有联系， 首次记载大约是在538年。Flim-flam 作名词时意思为.一句无意义的或无聊的话，. 作形容词时可当作.琐屑的，无意义的.讲。 Flim-flam 本身是一个重叠词，fl-m 这样形式出现两次， 第一次是与语音（i）组合；第二次是与语音（a）组合。 Flim 可能与古斯堪的纳维亚语flim 有关， 其意思为.讽刺，诽谤.
