词源
- pest害虫,讨厌的人在几个世纪以前人们一提到pest往往谈虎色变。该词原指“瘟疫”,16世纪时借自中世纪法语peste,而peste又源自拉丁语pestis‘plague’。当时染上瘟疫的人被送往pest-house(疫病收容院),由pest-master/pest-man(疫病医生)负责护理,病人死后尸体则用pest-cart(运尸车)运走。法语单词peste至今仍保留其旧义,然而英语pest从17世纪起开始转义为“害虫”、“害人精”、“讨厌的人”等。英语中另有一词pestilence(瘟疫)亦源自拉丁语pestis。(参见pester)
- pest害虫,害鸟来自拉丁语pestis,传染病,瘟疫,诅咒,词源同pestilence.引申词义害虫,害鸟等。
