r · B1
In a way that is not tight or firm, so that the thing still has room to move, slip, hang down or come off.
鬆鬆地
Picture a gap left in a join. The two things are connected — a towel round a neck, a screw in a hole — but not pressed together, so there is still room to move. Loosely is that gap turned into a way of doing something. The gap can be physical, or it can sit between a film and the true story, between a group and its rules, or between a speaker and the word they just chose.
The packet's source entry derives it from Middle English lously, equivalent to loose + -ly — the adjective for the gap, turned into an adverb for acting with a gap left in.
packet 裡的來源說它來自中古英文 lously,等於 loose + -ly。也就是把「鬆」這個形容詞,變成形容動作的副詞:做的時候留著那道空隙。
