源自 straw +‎ man

1986年版 Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary 多處顯示,本詞用作無形之物的比喻義可追溯到1585-95年。

1897年版 Universal Dictionary of the English Language 第4卷第4485頁將“man of straw”解釋為“The figure of a man formed of an old suit of clothes stuffed with straw; hence, the mere resemblance of a man; one of no substance or means; an imaginary person.”(用塞满稻草的旧衣服做成的人形;因此可表示:仅仅是与人相似;没有任何实质或手段;一个想象出来的人。)
