翻找
核心畫面
A hand goes down into a crowded space - a drawer, a backpack, a ship's hold - and starts turning things over. You are not tidying; you are looking, and looking fast. Things get pushed aside, and when the hand comes out, nothing sits where it sat before. The mess left behind is part of the word.

rummage 可以想成一隻手伸進一個塞滿東西的空間：抽屜、背包，或一艘船的貨艙。你不是在整理，你是在找，而且找得很急。東西被一樣一樣撥到旁邊，手抽出來的時候，沒有一樣還在原位。那份留在後面的亂，也算在這個字裡。From the word’s history
Wiktionary records rummage from Middle English ronage, from Old French arrumage, from arrumer meaning to arrange the cargo in the hold. The word starts on a ship, among crates that have to be shifted about in a tight space.
Wiktionary 記載 rummage 來自中古英語 ronage、古法語 arrumage，動詞 arrumer 的意思是「把貨物安排在船艙裡」。也就是說，這個字是從船上出發的：水手在窄窄的艙底把一箱箱貨搬來搬去。那個在擁擠空間裡撥開東西的動作，一路留到今天的抽屜和背包裡。
