來源：
Middle English discomfiten
中古英語 discomfiten
from Old French desconfit [past participle of] desconfire, descumfire [to defeat]
源自 古法語 desconfit [] desconfire, descumfire的過去分詞 [擊敗]
des- [dis-]
des- [表示.不，除去.的意思]
confire [to make] from Latin cônficere [to prepare] * see comfit
confire [制造] 源自 拉丁語 cônficere [準備] *參見 comfit

It is true thatdiscomfit originally meant .to defeat, frustrate,. and that its newer use meaning .to embarrass, disconcert,.probably arose in part through confusion withdiscomfort. But the newer sense is now the most common use of the verb in all varieties of writingand should be considered entirely standard.
discomfit 起初確實意為.打敗，挫敗.， 該詞的新意義是.使困窘，使窘迫.，這個詞義的生成部分原因，可能是由于和discomfort 的混淆引起。 但是新的詞義現(xiàn)在在各種寫作中是該動詞的最普遍的用法，應被看作是完全標準的
