英文词源


geranium
geranium: [16] The native English name for the ‘geranium’, cranesbill, shows that the same thought occurred independently to the speakers of two independent languages many miles and centuries apart. For the plant’s seed case is long and pointed, very much like the beak of a crane; and geranium comes via Latin from Greek geránion, literally ‘little crane’, a diminutive form of géranos ‘crane’ (which is related to English crane).
=> crane
geranium (n.)
1540s, from Latin geranium, from Greek geranion, the plant name, diminutive of geranos "crane" (cognate with Latin grus; see crane (n.)). So called from shape resemblance of seed pods to cranes' bills; the native name in English also was cranebill. As a color name from 1842.
