英文词源

Thermos (n.)

trademark registered in Britain 1907, invented by Sir James Dewar (patented 1904 but not named then), from Greek thermos "hot" (see thermal). Dewar built the first one in 1892, but it was first manufactured commercially in Germany in 1904, when two glass blowers formed Thermos GmbH. Supposedly the company sponsored a contest to name the thing, and a Munich resident won with a submission of Thermos.

中文词源

thermos：保温瓶，热水瓶

该词在20世纪初原为英国瑟姆斯有限公司（Thermos Ltd.）生产的保温瓶的商标名，它是直接取意为“热”的希腊词 thermos,取名者显然对热饮感兴趣。到了20世纪60年代以后，thermos 从商标名逐渐转化为属名，泛指“热水瓶”，其首字母也随之变为小写。
