mosquito

mosquito: [16] Mosquito comes ultimately from the Latin word for ‘fly’, musca (this went back to an Indo-European base *mu-, probably imitative of the sound of humming, which also produced English midge [OE], and hence its derivative midget [19] – originally a ‘tiny sand-fly’). Musca became Spanish mosca, whose diminutive form reached English as mosquito – etymologically a ‘small fly’. (The Italian descendant of musca, incidentally, is also mosca, and its diminutive, moschetto, was applied with black humour to the ‘bolt of a crossbow’. From it English gets musket [16].)
=> midge, midget, musket

中文词源

aheyance：中止，暂时搁置．归属待定　　

感叹词bah在现代英语表示轻蔑、厌恶、不耐烦等，而ba在许多语言中则表示惊奇，是构成若干英语单词的主要成分。英语词abash（使窘迫，使羞惭）源自古法语esbahir（使惊奇），词根为ba；另一词bashful（羞怯的）系由abash之缩略形式bash加后缀-ful所构戚，词根也是ba；abeyance一词来自中世纪法语abeiance（期待），源于拉丁语bata re（张口），主要成分也是ba。因此．abeyance原先含有widemouthed anticipation之意，现在用以表示“（所有权等的）归属待定”“中止”或“暂时搁置”等义。
