解答
意味:名詞形
Oxford English Dictionaryに掲載されていてネット上でかなり見かけるにも関わらず、英辞郎、Weblio等のオンライン辞典には訳がありません。したがって、Merriam-Websterの定義を訳すと下記のようになります。<スラング、軽蔑的に使われることが多い> 極端な・度を過ぎた熱心で忠実なファン
動詞形
<スラング、軽蔑的に使われることが多い> 極端な・度を過ぎたファンとしての行動をとること
Answer
According to Merriam-Webster:
Noun
slang, often disparaging :an extremely or excessively enthusiastic and devoted fan
Verb
slang, often disparaging : to exhibit fandom to an extreme or excessive degree : to be an extremely devoted and enthusiastic fan of someone or something
Etymology/語源
Wiktionaryによると、2000年発表のラッパーのEminemの曲Stanより。この曲は、Eminemの架空の熱狂的なファンとの遭遇を語ったもの。また、ontheaside.comによると、
2015年のOxford Dictionaryのブログ記事によると、EminemがStanという名前を使った理由は、fanと韻を踏んでいるからだろう。また、Stanは、stalkerとfanのからできたportmanteau(2つの単語からできた混成語)でもあるから。
According to Wiktionary:
Derived from the 2000 hip-hop song "Stan" by the American rapper Eminem, a fictional account of the rapper's encounter with an overly obsessive fan.Also, according to ontheaside.com:
An Oxford blog post from 2015 details the emergence of ‘stan’, noting that “Stan was probably the easy name for Eminem to pick for his song’s main character because it rhymes with fan, but also because the word stan serves as a kind of portmanteau of ‘stalker’ and ‘fan’.”
