词源
- coin(硬币):铸造硬币的模具英语单词coin(硬币)的本意并非“硬币”,而是铸造硬币的模具。它来自拉丁语cuneus(楔子),因为古罗马时期用来冲压硬币的模子的形状是楔形的,故此得名。英语单词coin就源自拉丁语cuneus,本意是铸造硬币的工具,由此衍生出“铸造、创造、杜撰”之意,最后才演变为表示硬币本身。 coin: [kɒɪn] n.硬币,钱币vt.铸造,杜撰,创造
- coin硬币,创造新词语词源同cone, cuneiform(楔形). 来自PIE*ak, 尖,刺,见acid, acumen. 最早指铸造货币的楔形模子,后指铸造的硬币及创造义。
- coin硬币,货币来源于拉丁语cuneus(楔形物)在古法语中派生的coing或coin。铸钱币模具的拔模斜度形成“楔形”,所以“楔形物”被用来指钱币。
