beer

beer: [OE] Originally, beer was probably simply a general term for a ‘drink’: it seems to have come from late Latin biber ‘drink’, which was a derivative of the verb bibere ‘drink’ (from which English gets beverage, bibulous, imbibe, and possibly also bibber). The main Old English word for ‘beer’ was ale, and beer (Old English bēor) is not very common until the 15th century. A distinction between hopped beer and unhopped ale arose in the 16th century.
=> beverage, bibulous, imbibe

中文词源

Allegheny Plateau：阿勒格尼高原

也作亚利根尼高原，阿巴拉契亚山的一部分，顺便说下这个阿勒格尼。虽然阿巴拉契亚山已经不再叫阿勒格尼山，但它中北部的一片高地（匹兹堡所在地以东）还保留了阿勒格尼的名字。它的词源是阿巴拉契亚山北部的部落——勒纳普部——的语言，最初是阿勒格尼河的名称。勒纳普部的传说里，在很早以前，这条河的河边有一个很强大的部落叫做阿勒格维（Allegewi）。勒纳普人的祖先经过努力，最终击败并驱逐了那个部落。为了纪念这场胜利，他们把这条河叫做阿勒格尼河。后来英国人和法国人知道这个故事后，也就将这条河流的名字传承了下来，并把阿巴拉契亚山命名为阿勒格尼山。后来阿勒格尼山这个名字被传播更广的名字阿巴拉契亚山取代。但是宾州西部阿勒格尼河附近的那片高地仍然被叫做阿勒格尼高原。
