词汇来源
"raw recruit," 1868, popularized by Kipling's "Barrack-Room Ballads" (1892); a word of uncertain origin, perhaps from recruit, influenced by rook (n.1) in its secondary sense, suggesting "easy to cheat." Barrère ["A Dictionary of Slang, Jargon & Cant," 1890] has "Rookey (army), a recruit; from the black coat some of them wear," so perhaps directly from rook (n.1). The word came into general use in American English during the Spanish-American War.
