18 qui vive
[киви́в]Французское заимствование qui vive?, появившееся в английском языке с конца XVI в. буквально означавшее '[long] live who?' — «да здравствует кто?», употреблялось как вопрос стражника, часового, обращённый к любому человеку, приближавшемуся к его посту. Эти слова сейчас можно услышать лишь в выражении to be on the qui vive (быть настороже, быть начеку), в письменной речи также используется сокращение on the q. v. The refugees would arrive in groups of two or three, all on the qui vive and ready to run off if things did not go their way. — Беженцы приезжали группами про два-три человека, настороженные и готовые к бегству, если что-то пойдёт не так. Вопрос часового был постепенно заменён английским Who goes there? — «Кто идёт»? -
