英文词源
bet
**bet: **[16] Since its comparatively late arrival, _bet _has ousted the earlier lay, wager, and _game _as the main term for ‘risking money on an uncertain outcome’ (_gamble _is later still). It is by no means clear where it came from; the usual explanation is that it is short for the noun abet, in the sense ‘instigation, encouragement, support’ – that is, one is giving one’s ‘support’ to that which one thinks, or hopes, may happen in the future (_abet _itself comes from the Old French verb abeter, and is related to English bait).
It first appears in Robert Greene’s _Art of Cony Catching _1592, which suggests an origin in the argot of smalltime Elizabethan criminals.
=> abet, bait, bite
bet
1590s, as both a verb and noun, in the argot of petty criminals, of unknown origin; probably a shortening of abet or else from obsolete beet "to make good," from Old English bætan "make better, arouse, stimulate," from Proto-Germanic *baitjan, in which case the verb would be the original. The original notion is perhaps "to improve" a contest by wagering on it, or it is from the "bait" sense in abet. Used since 1852 in various American English slang assertions (compare you bet "be assured," 1857). Related: Betting.
