[Origin unknown]
[词源不明]

pun“ningly
adv.（副词）

The origin of the word pun is lost in obscurity, perhaps deservedly so in the eyes of those who consider the pun the feeblest form of wit. The word pun is first recorded in a work of 1662 written by John Dryden. In a slightly later passage of 1676 we find the word pun in the company of the words pundigrion and punnet with the same sense. Punnet is probably a diminutive of pun, as are the later punlet (used by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1819) and punkin (Henry James, 1866). But pundigrion, 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 as punctilio. In any case, the word pun has given birth to some derivatives of its own, including punnigram, modeled on epigram, and punnology.
可能在那些认为双关语是智慧的最虚弱表现形式的人眼里，pun 的本源难以考证是当然的。 1662年在约翰·德莱登的一篇文章中最早出现了pun 这个词。其后不久1676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 的一个词尾，后来的punlet (1819年萨缪尔·泰勒·柯利芝使用）和 punkin （亨利·詹姆斯于1866年使用）可能也是如此。但尽管pundigrion 比 pun 的记载晚，却很可能比它略早出现，且可能是它的来源。Pundrigrion 按顺序来说可能是已废弃的意大利语 puntiglio 的变形，意为“妙处”，英语中相应的词是punctilio。不论如何，pun 自身还衍生了一些词，包括 punnigram ，它是模仿epigram 和 punnology 而成的
