读了你给的link, 那里给了这个词的出处，和做副词的例句，让我更加以为我先前的感觉没错。

 

 
Adv. 1.

aloof - in an aloof manner; "the local gentry and professional classes had held aloof for the school had accepted their sons readily enough."

  

adv aloof [əˈluːf] apart or at a distance from other people I kept aloof from the whole business.

 
aloof - Comes from sailing, in which ships keep clear of coastal rocks by holding the vessel "luff"—"to the windward"; so, to hold "a-luff" means to "keep clear."
