  "etymology_text": "源自中古英語 ded as dore-nail。字面意思为“死得和门钉一样的”。\n最早在英语中的使用例之一是威廉·朗兰的诗歌Piers Plowman A. i. 161 \"Fey withouten fait is febelore þen nouȝt, And ded as a dore-nayl\"，但是不太可能是朗兰所造。此外还有William of Palerne l. 628 \"For but ich haue bote of mi bale‥I am ded as dore-nail\"，以及押头韵的辩论诗The Parlement of the Thre Ages内\"Dede als a dore-nayle doune was he fallen\" 65。这些文字记录的出现时间不详，可能比朗兰要早。\n一种说得通解释是，门是只用木板和手工锻造的钉子制成的：钉子会长到足够dead nail (“钉死”)垂直的木板和水平的横档，让它们无法轻易分开。要达到这种效果，需要将钉子的突出部分敲入木头里。弯成这样，难以拉出的钉子一般称为“dead”，本词由此而来。",
