messenger

• n. 报信者，送信者；先驱

来自古法语messagier,信使，来自message,信息，消息。插入字母n可能是一种习惯性写法，比较passenger,harbinger.

messenger (n.)

c. 1200, messager, from Old French messagier "messenger, envoy, ambassador," from message (see message (n.)). With parasitic -n- inserted by c. 1300 for no apparent reason except that people liked to say it that way (compare passenger, harbinger, scavenger).
