fandango 凡丹戈舞(节奏欢快的西班牙舞蹈)

词源不详。可能来自fado, 一种葡萄牙民歌,词源同fate, 命运。

fandango (n.)
mid-18c., lively Spanish dance, the word of unknown etymology [OED says "alleged to be of negro origin"], of uncertain origin. Perhaps related to fado (Watkins traces both to Latin fari "to speak"); fado is lovely but not lively, so perhaps the link, if any, is thematic. By extension in American English, "any noisy entertainment."
1. Politics before an election can be quite a fandango.
选举前的政治活动简直可以说是胡闹一通.
