词源

  • pupa
    pupa本是拉丁语,意为“女孩”、“洋娃娃”。1758年瑞典博物学家林奈(Linnaeus,1707 - 1778)把它当作术语来用,指“蛹”。林奈这一创造曾被誉为“天才诗人的手法”(a stroke of poetic genius)。一位作家这样写遭:“只要你看一看峨蛹的下侧,你就会发现它的脸、它的眼睛以及小臂状的双翅,有如襁褓中的婴儿,犹如小洋娃娃。”英语另有两个词puppet(木偶)和puppy(小狗),从表面上看乃分别来自法语poupette(玩偶)和poupee(玩偶),实际上其终极词源同为拉丁语pupa。
  • pupa
    来自拉丁语papa,小女孩,布偶,来自pupus,小男孩,-a,表阴性。瑞典植物学家林奈借用该词命名,把蛹比做未长大的小女孩。
