JAUNTY in Context
"Monty and Rose, who achieved local fame in 2019 as the first federally endangered piping plovers to raise a family in Chicago in almost 60 years, are gone from the North Side beach where they spent three summers. But the hope that the jaunty little shorebirds sparked for their species continues to grow. The Great Lakes Piping Plover Conservation Team has announced a record-breaking 2022 breeding season, with 149 wild chicks reaching the fledgling—or flying—stage, the most since official counts began in 1984." — Nara Schoenberg, The Chicago Tribune, 7 Aug. 2022

Did You Know?
Does throwing on a jaunty hat make someone appear more genteel? Maybe, but something more definitive links the words: both jaunty and genteel come from the French word gentil, meaning "of aristocratic birth." Genteel was borrowed first to describe things associated with aristocratic people. Jaunty joined the language just a few years later in the mid-17th century as a synonym of stylish and also as a synonym for genteel. While genteel has maintained its associations of propriety and high social class, jaunty has traipsed into less stuffy territory as a descriptor of tunes and hats and other things that suggest lively confidence.
活泼的帽子会让人看起来更加文质彬彬吗? 也许吧,但某物更明显的将这两个词联系起来:jaunty 和 genteel 都来自法语单词 gentil,意思是“of aristocratic birth「贵族出身」”。 Genteel 最先被用来指与贵族有关的事物。 几年后的 17 世纪中叶,Jaunty 作为 stylish 的同义词和 genteel 的同义词进入。 虽然 genteel 一直保持着礼节与高阶级社会联系,但是 jaunty 描述了像语调、帽子及其他充满活力的事物,进入了不那么保守古板的领域。
