那一捲錢
從摸得到的那一捲,走到看不到卻算得出來的那一筆。
noun · C2
A roll of paper money carried in your pocket instead of in a wallet.
一捲鈔票
A thick roll of in someone's front pocket. You can see how much there is, you can peel notes off the outside, and when the roll is thin the choices get small. Everything the word does now can be read off that roll: the money you have to work with, and the act of putting your roll behind somebody else's plan.
A compound of bank and roll — literally a roll of bank notes.
來源說它是 bank 加 roll 的複合字,字面就是「一捲銀行的鈔票」。所以第一個意思不是引申來的,它就是字面本身;後面兩個意思才是從這一捲長出去的。
