騙錢:動作,以及整樁案子
這兩個是同一件事的兩種說法:一個是做這件事,一個是這件事本身。
verb · B2
To take money or property from someone by lying to them: you make them believe something false, and they hand it over themselves.
詐騙(錢財)
You can picture swindle as the moment the victim hands it over. Nothing is grabbed and nothing is taken behind anyone's back — someone believed a story, and paid because of it.
A back-formation from swindler, borrowed from German Schwindler; the German verb schwindeln goes back to Old High German swintan, a root about diminishing or wasting away.
資料上寫的是:swindle 是從 swindler(騙子)倒回去造出來的。swindler 借自德文 Schwindler,動詞 schwindeln 再往前是古高地德語 swintan,那一支的意思跟「變少、衰退」有關。有意思的是,這個字是先有「騙子」才有「騙」這個動作,剛好呼應它的核心:先有一個人編故事,才有東西被交出去。
Packet Wiktionary etymology for 'swindle' (source_ref kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:931872377:39778): 'Back-formation from swindler, from German Schwindler, from German schwindeln... from Old High German swintilōn, frequentative of the verb swintan, from Proto-West Germanic *swindan ("to diminish").'

棋盤上的賊招:唯一不帶罪的 swindle
核心畫面只借走一半:「讓對方自己走錯」還在,「違規」不見了。所以棋手說這個字是佩服,不是譴責。
