verb · C1
To twist your face into an ugly or strange shape for a moment, because something hurts, because you do not like something, or because you are trying to make someone laugh.
做出苦臉;扮鬼臉
One way to hold this word: a face pulled out of its own shape for a second, like a mask dropping over it and lifting again. Something hurts, or tastes bitter, or lands badly, and the features bunch up before the person can decide anything. Then the face comes back. Both uses are that same moment — one names the pulling, the other names the face it leaves.
Recorded as a borrowing from French grimace, going back through Old French grimace / grimuche to grime 'mask', from Frankish *grima, and cognate with Old English grima 'mask'. The mask is still visible in the modern picture: for a second the face is not the one you usually wear.
來源記載是借自法文 grimace,再往前經古法文 grimace/grimuche 追到 grime「面具」,源出法蘭克語 *grima,並與古英文的 grima(面具)同源。那張面具在今天的畫面裡還看得見:有一秒鐘,那張臉不是你平常的那張。
