來自古英語短語 on back，其字面意思是“向后”，來自古代帆船時代的航海用語，用于表示帆船在前行的過程中被突然改變的風向，也就是突然向后吹的逆風阻擋而不能繼續前行，由于這種逆風的突然性，往往使人大吃一驚，所以后來該詞又延伸出引申義，表示“猝不及防地，突然地，震驚”。aback 現在主要存在于短語 take aback（使吃驚，使驚呆），在其他地方很少用到。
- aback (adv.)
- c. 1200, from Old English on b?c "at or on the back;" see back (n.). Now surviving mainly in taken aback, originally a nautical expression in reference to a vessel's square sails when a sudden change of wind flattens them back against the masts and stops the forward motion of the ship (1754). The figurative sense is first recorded 1840.
- 1. Rather taken aback by such forwardness, I slammed down the phone.
