Nguồn gốc từ

First attested in the first part of the 15 century, in Middle English; Middle English *excoriaten, borrowed from excoriātus perfect passive participle of excoriō (to take the skin or hide off, flay, skin), from ex- (out off, from) + corium (hide, skin) + -ō. Regular participial usage of the adjective up until Early Modern English, later archaic.
