來自古希臘城邦特洛伊第一勇士Hector,后被街頭土匪當祖師爺崇拜，成為土匪代稱，引申詞義威嚇，威逼。其字面意思為堅持者，有韌勁的人，來自希臘語ekhein,持有，保持，持續。參照電影《特洛伊》。

hector (n.)

late 14c., "a valiant warrior," 1650s as slang for "a blustering, turbulent, pervicacious, noisy fellow" [Johnson], Heck for short, both in reference to the provocative character of Hektor, Trojan hero, oldest son of Priam and Hecuba, in the "Iliad." It represents Greek hektor, literally "holder, stayer;" an agent noun from ekhein "to have, hold, possess" (see scheme). The word was used mid-1600s in reference to London street gangs. As a proper name it is rare in England but used in Scotland to render Gaelic Eachdonn.
