稱呼人(男人/大家)
從蓋伊人偶這個源頭長出來的一整支:先是稱呼男人,再放寬到稱呼一群人。人偶本身則是這支的歷史起點。
a man (informal) · noun · A2
A man, especially in a friendly and informal way.
男生 / 傢伙
這個拼法底下其實是2個不同的字,意思沒有關係, 只是長得一樣。下面分開列出來。跳到 a man (informal) · guy rope
You can picture this 'guy' as a casual, friendly word for a man — the everyday way you'd point at some fellow. It grew out of the effigy of Guy Fawkes burned each year in Britain; over time the proper name into a plain, informal word for any man, and then (in 'you guys') for any group of people at all.
From 'Guy Fawkes' (the 1605 Gunpowder Plot): the straw effigy burned on Guy Fawkes Night was called 'a guy' (1806). The name slid from the effigy → a strangely-dressed man → (American English, 1840s) any man → a friendly word for a man.
源自蓋伊‧福克斯(1605 年火藥陰謀的人物):每年「蓋伊‧福克斯之夜」焚燒的稻草人偶就叫 a guy(1806)。這名字一路滑:人偶 → 穿著怪異的男人 → (美式英語,1840 年代)任何男人 → 親切稱呼男人的字。

A second word, same spelling
This 'guy' is a completely different word that just happens to be spelled the same: a rope (or wire) that holds something steady by stretching tight to the ground — the kind of cord that keeps a tent or pole from falling over.
A separate nautical word (1620s): from Old French 'guie' meaning a guide / a steadying line, probably reinforced by Dutch 'gei', a rope used to control a sail. Unrelated to the Guy-Fawkes 'guy'.
一個獨立的航海用字(1620 年代):源自古法語 guie,意為「導引/固定的繩」,可能還受荷蘭語 gei(控帆用的繩)影響。和蓋伊‧福克斯那個 guy 毫無關係。
