• n. 报信者，送信者；先驱
• n. (Messenger)人名；(德)梅森格；(英)梅辛杰

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).

1. The messenger bent and scratched at his knee where the strapping chafed.

送信人弯下腰来，挠着膝部被绑腿磨红的地方。
