<注釋>Sincecushy has such an informal, breezy, American ring, it is difficult to believe that it is an import, as some etymologists claim.Members of the British army in India are supposed to have picked up the Anglo-Indian version of the Hindi word±hôush, meaning .pleasant,. to which the suffix-y, as in empty and sexy, was added, thus forming a new English word. Cushy, however, is actually first recorded in a letter from the European battlefront during World War I. This fact, in conjunction with our inability to find an Anglo-Indian source,casts some doubt on the Hindi or Anglo-Indian origin ofcushy. Two other possibilities are thatcushy is a shortening of cushion with the -y suffix or that it is a borrowing of Frenchcouchée, .lying down; a bed..
既然cushy 一詞具有如此非正式的、愉快的美國意義， 很難相信某些詞源學者所認為的說它是一個外來詞。駐印度的英國軍隊士兵被認為是選用了印度英文±hôush 的英文說法，意思是.愉悅的.， 並如同empty 和 sexy 等詞在其上加了 -y 這個後綴，從而形成了一個新英文單詞。 然而，事實上cushy 一詞卻最先被記錄在第一次世界大戰期間發自歐洲戰鬥前線的一封信里。 這一事實，再加上我們無法找到其印度英文的詞源，使我們對於cushy 一詞源於印地語或印度英文的說法產生了某些懷疑。 另兩種可能性，一種是cushy ，它是 cushion 的縮略形式再加上後綴 -y ； 另一種是法文couchee .躺下；床.的外來語
