"To calculate your pool's optimum size and depth, think about who will be using it. Will it be holding adults lounging while sipping mai tais or your child's rambunctious soccer team? If kids will be using the pool, how old and tall are they?" — Laura Daily, The Washington Post, 21 July 2020

Did You Know?

Rambunctious first appeared in print in the early half of the 19th century, at a time when the fast-growing United States was forging its identity and indulging in a fashion for colorful new coinages suggestive of the young nation's optimism and exuberance. Rip-roaring, scalawag, scrumptious, hornswoggle, and skedaddle are other examples of the lively language of that era. Did Americans alter the largely British rumbustious because it sounded, well, British? That could be. Rumbustious, which first appeared in Britain in the late 1700s just after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was probably based on robustious, a much older adjective that meant both "robust" and "boisterous."

Rambunctious最早出现在19世纪上半叶,当时快速发展的美国正在塑造自己的身份,沉溺于一种时尚的彩色新造词法,暗示这个年轻国家的乐观和繁荣。Rip-roaring, scalawag, scrumptious, hornswoggle, skedaddle是那个时代生动语言的其他例子。美国人是否因为它听起来像英国人的声音而这可能改变了大部分英国人的rumbustious。Rumbustious 这个词最早出现在18世纪末的英国,就在《独立宣言》签署之后。这个词很可能是基于robustious,一个更古老的形容词,意为“robust「强壮的」”和“boisterous「喧闹的」”。
