<注釋>Although we do not know for certain the origin offad, first recorded in 834with the sense .whim, crotchet,.we can suggest one possibility.In 754, 80 years before this occurrence offad, we find an instance of the wordfidfad, meaning .a fussy person.:.The youngest . . . is, in everything she does, an absolute fidfad..Fidfad is found in the latter part of the 9th century with the sense .small detail, frill,. and the adjectivefidfad, meaning .frivolous, fussy, petty,. is recorded in 830.Fad could thus be a shortened form of fidfad, itself shortened from fiddle-faddle.
