- 2muff · hand warmer暖手筒A short soft tube, open at both ends, with nothing inside it but your two hands.
muff · miss a catch or kick
v, nThe ball was already in your hands, and it did not stay there. Everything in this group needs those two halves: it was yours, and you let it go at the one moment that counted. Nobody took it from you and nothing stopped you — that is what makes a muff sting. Move the ball out of the picture and put a chance, a line in a play, or a whole person in its place, and the rest of the group appears.
muff · hand warmer
nA short soft tube, open at both ends, with nothing inside it but your two hands. Picture someone in a winter coat holding it against their front: the hands are warm, they are touching each other, and they are out of use. The tube shape is the whole of the word — which is why the same name gets given to a sleeve around a pipe and to the puff of feathers at the sides of a bird's face.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives this as probably from Dutch mof, meaning muff or mitten — a soft covering that the hands go into, which is the same picture the English word still carries.
根據 Wiktionary，這個字多半來自荷蘭語的 mof，意思是「暖手筒、連指手套」——一個把手包進去的軟套子，正好就是英文今天還在用的那個畫面。
