hornet 大黃蜂，馬蜂
來(lái)自古英語(yǔ)hurnitu,大黃蜂，來(lái)自Proto-Germanic*hurz,來(lái)自PIE*krs,嗡嗡聲。拼寫受horn影響，即吹號(hào)角的。
英文詞源
- hornet (n.)
- Old English hyrnet, hurnitu "large wasp, beetle," probably from Proto-Germanic *hurz-nut- (cognates: Old Saxon hornut, Middle Dutch huersel, Dutch horzel, Old High German hornaz, German Hornisse "hornet"), from PIE imitative (buzzing) root *krs-, as preserved in Old Church Slavonic srusa, Lithuanian szirszu "wasp." On this theory, the English word (as well as German Hornisse) was altered by influence of horn, to suggest either "horner" (from the sting) or "horn-blower" (from the buzz). Compare also Old Saxon hornobero "hornet," literally "trumpeter."
