Samoyed的词源

英文词源

Samoyed (n.)

Siberian Mongolian people, 1580s, from Russian samoyed (11c.), traditionally literally "self-eaters," i.e. "cannibals" (the first element cognate with same, the second with eat), but this might be Russian folk etymology of a native name:

The common Russian etymology of the name Samoyed, meaning "self-eater," deepened the Russians' already exotic image of far-northerners. The most probable linguistic origin of Samoyed, however, is from the Saami -- saam-edne, "land of the people" [Andrei V. Golovnev and Gail Osherenko, "Siberian Survival: The Nenets and Their Story," Cornell University, 1999]

Which would make the name a variant of Suomi "Finn." The native name is Nenets. As the name of a type of dog (once used as a working dog in the Arctic) it is attested from 1889.

中文词源

Samoyed：萨摩耶人；萨摩耶犬

萨摩耶犬原是西伯利亚原住民萨摩耶人培育出的犬种。其中sam-和same（同样的）同源；词根-ed-指“吃”，和eat（吃）同源，体会d、t音变，如edible（可食用的）；字面义“吃同类（的人）”，即“野蛮人”，来自俄语，这可能是当地的民间词源。
