<注釋>The origin of the wordpun is lost in obscurity, perhaps deservedly so in the eyes of those who consider the pun the feeblest form of wit. The wordpun is first recorded in a work of ''2 written by John Dryden. In a slightly later passage of '7'we find the wordpun in the company of the words pundigrion and punnet with the same sense. Punnet is probably a diminutive of pun, as are the laterpunlet (used by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 89) and punkin (Henry James, 8''). Butpundigrion, although recorded later, may have been around earlier than pun and might be its source.Pundrigrion in turn might be an alteration of the obsolete Italian word puntiglio, .fine point,. which we have in English aspunctilio. In any case,the wordpun has given birth to some derivatives of its own, including punnigram, modeled onepigram, and punnology.
可能在那些認為雙關語是智慧的最虛弱表現形式的人眼裡，pun 的本源難以考證是當然的。 ''2年在約翰·德萊登的一篇文章中最早出現了pun 這個詞。 其後不久'7'年的一篇文章中，pun 同 pundigrion 和 punnet 具有相同的意思而列在一起。 Punnet 可能是 pun 的一個詞尾， 後來的punlet ( * 薩繆爾·泰勒·柯利芝使用）和 punkin （亨利·詹姆斯於8''年使用）可能也是如此。 但儘管pundigrion 比 pun 的記載晚，卻很可能比它略早出現， 且可能是它的來源。Pundrigrion 按順序來說可能是已廢棄的義大利語 puntiglio 的變形，意為.妙處.， 英文中相應的詞是punctilio。 不論如何，pun 自身還衍生了一些詞，包括 punnigram ， 它是模仿epigram 和 punnology 而成的
